Congratulations, November MPS Shines winners!

Each month, staff have an opportunity to nominate their colleagues for MPS Shines. Winners are randomly chosen from the nominations and receive recognition across MPS newsletters and social media, a coffee mug and other prizes.

Help us congratulate November's MPS Shines winners:

Brian Hadley, music teacher, Andersen United Middle School

“Brian puts his all into his students and communities, and has both long-term and short-term goals for the instrumental music students at Andersen as they continue to grow in their instrumental music program. We at South have found a true partner in him and are amazed at the energy he puts into the community day in and day out. MPS and Andersen are blessed with his experience, vision, and skill. Thank you for everything you do, Brian!” - Laurie Meyers

Aaron Cepeda, EMSS specialist, Roosevelt High School

“Cepeda is our superstar EMSS (security specialist) who goes out of his way to build relationships with students and families. His approachability has added a great benefit to our school climate and culture. We are grateful to Cepeda for his service to our community.” - Christian Ledesma

Jennifer Bordon, active living coordinator, Culinary & Wellness Services (CWS)

“Jenny is super passionate about making sure that all students can walk, bike and roll to school! How much she cares is really inspiring and makes her whole team better.” -Annie Meyer

“Jenny is positivity and kindness. She is so committed to her work and the people she collaborates with and that students have the opportunity to experience biking in MPS and have access to safer routes for walking and biking to school within their communities. Her commitment to wellness and active living has led to the success of Walk, Bike, & Roll to School Days, Let's Roll and nurtured a culture for active living and community engagement.” - Jamie Harris
