“I am surprised and so delighted to win the #Hashtag Award this month. It is my first year working as the social media specialist for our school, and I've been doing my best to learn about the different media platforms and how to reach as many as possible. Social media is such a great way to spread news, share achievements, and to keep families posted about important happenings at our school. It is really rewarding to see our school's social media presence growing and connecting us to our community,” said Emy Porter. “I am grateful for all of the teachers and staff who share pictures with me to post or invite me to come photograph activities in their classrooms. To make sharing photos easier, I created a school Google drive linked to a QR code that I printed and laminated for each class so that they can easily upload pictures to their grade's folder. I love when new pictures are added and I get to share a glimpse into that classroom on social media. We have a great school full of amazing staff and students and I feel honored to document as much of it as I can.” 

Principal Chad Argyle said, “Emy is amazing! She warmly welcomes everyone to the school. She makes personal connections with each student and their parents as they interact with each other in the office. She is extremely talented in her interactions with all faculty in the building and is extremely helpful in any way the teachers need at the moment. Emy goes out of her way to learn new things and truly has the care of others in mind in all she does at the school. Emy is positive in all of her interactions with students, parents, and staff.”
