Teacher Appreciation Contest

Flamingos 2 Go is having a contest to find the top two schools to win a free teacher appreciation yard display! Most action is happening on Facebook, but some folks are not on FB. So I am going to show the posts here, and any non-FB people can post here to get their school nominated. Sorry the formatting is all messed up. Pasting didn't work out so well....but you get the idea!! Here are the details:

      • Carol Klodginski I love them both! These yellow smiley faces would match the Whitcomb Giraffe's colors better I guess. I'm really pulling for them. It's been a difficult year for a lot of reasons and this would bring such a happy ending to the school year for them. Go Whitcomb!

      • Kristi Mayfield Fowler I like the smiley faces! And, I have to agree with Carol. My best friend teaches at Whitcomb and there are a lot of challenges that the teachers face and with their principal's illness, it had been a very hard year. I think they should win--but since two schools can win, I can't leave out Seabrook, too. Can you tell I am in charge of Teacher Appreciation???

      • Trecia Sterling I agree! I HATED IT when I found out several years ago that they had become the "Whitcomb Stars." Finally got a principal that went back to the old "Whitcomb Giraffes." It was funny, though. They were the Whitcomb Stars with a giraffe inside, where he's always been! And he's still there today!!! That giraffe is older than ME!!!

        Ohhh! And Sordi is still there....remember him?!!

    • I attended Whitcomb Elementary as a kid. My mom has served as a parent, substitute, and teacher at Whitcomb for over 32 years! She has seen many changes, but I don't think she has ever seen pink flamingos in the yard of the school! I know first hand, how hard she works. She stays late every night and works at home for hours planning a......nd preparing. In addition, I know she cares about all the students and has their best interest in her heart. I know there are many hard working teachers and staff at Whitcomb that deserve a "flock" of thank you's for all they do. She has one more year left before retiring. What a wonderful memory this would be! See More

The principals, teachers, paraprofessionals, librarians, gym coaches, art & music teachers, aides, janitors & everyone in between...Whitcomb has the greatest staff ever!!!

No matter the question or concern, the teachers, staff and administrators have always taken the time to help. They make Seabrook a fun learning environment. Go Seabrook!

    • Whitcomb Elementary is a winning campus in my heart! Our teachers are top notch not only for their teaching ability but for the love they have for each student and our community. My kindergartener and third grader are always ready to go to school because they have fun. My sixth grader still keeps in contact with his Whitcomb teachers. I believe it takes a village to raise a family. I am very blessed to have my Whitcomb Elementary family in our lives.

    • Whitcomb Elementary is a very deserving winner! The school has awesome teachers and staff, and they all genuinely care for our children! With the principal being out for health reasons, the entire staff has truly gone above and beyond for all of the kids this year. I have a third grader at Whitcomb, and each year he has had the BEST teachers! It would be great to show them how much they are appreciated!

They definitely go above and beyond for our kids. My littlest will be in kindergarten next year and is already a part of the Whitcomb "family".

The teachers and staff have been working hard teaching the kiddos and getting them ready for TAKS this week, along with going above and beyond their duties to support the principal in her fight. I think it would be a wonderful thank you for all they have done this year and show how much we all appreciate them!

    • My choice for this award would be Whitcomb Elementary School. My grandsons go there and they have had amazing teachers every year. The oldest, Cody, will go to Westbrook Intermediate next year in the WAVE program thanks to the great teaching and encouragement he has received every year since kindergarten. The younger one, Cory, just tested at the top of his class in math and has the BEST teacher in the entire world. All the teachers at Whitcomb show appreciation and encouragement to the students every day and I think it's time to show some back to them.

    • Whitcomb Elementary School has the BEST teachers and staff! Despite a challenging year, these teachers are helping their "giraffe's" reach the top! While Principal Gail Boyes is fighting breast cancer, these teachers are fighting to keep their students focused on learning. The teachers recently treated Gail to a flock of flamingos when she returned from a hospital stay, and I think the teachers deserve a special treat as well! Let's show them how much we appreciate them!
