Mrs Rosseau My daughter, Emma Rosseau serves with the Army,100th Missile Brigade out of Colorado Springs. She was a graduate of BVS ‘19 and UF ‘22.  I’m most proud of the sacrifices my daughter makes by serving our country. Emma gives 100% in her job with the Army and puts others first before her own needs. She was recently promoted to First Lieutenant.
Mrs Washington I am the proud wife of a retiree of the United States Army.  He honorably served for 25 years across diverse global assignments, including the United States, Africa, Belgium. Israel, Thailand and Switzerland. His military career offered our family a unique opportunity to experience a rich tapestry of cultures, all while remaining steadfast in his commitment to duty and country.  I am especially proud of his exceptional leadership, unwavering dedication and numerous achievements throughout his service.  He consistently balanced his military responsibilities with the equally important roles of father, husband, friend and mentor - leaving a lasting impact on those who served alongside and followed in his footsteps.
Mrs Sorrentino What places did you live as a military child?  Wyoming, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, Alabama, California, Florida What did you learn growing up a military child?  I learned how to be flexible and how to navigate new situations.

So many students admire you. How do you make those connections?  I create relationships with students by taking time to get to know each students interests, hobbies, and families.I use this information to make connections in our lessons that apply to real-life situations. Since our educational program is so intertwined with a students home life, it creates an understanding that makes them feel important.   When or why is (or isn’t) a picture worth a thousand words?   Looking at the whole picture of a situation helps us to understand more than what is being relayed or described. Everyone comprehends things differently, so we must rely on teaching to meet each child’s individual learning needs.   If you won the lottery and decided to give up teaching, what would you do instead?  If I won the lottery, I would purchase a large farm to house rescue animals. I would have conservation and therapy programs for individuals with unique abilities.

What sort of morning routine do you have to get jazzed for class? I keep my mornings pretty simple but upbeat.  I usually start with a cup of coffee, check my plan for the day, and do a step workout to get me energized and ready for the day. What is your first memory from school? My first memory from school is walking into my classroom for the first time and feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. I remember meeting my teacher, seeing all the colorful decorations, and sitting at my desk wondering what the day would be like. It was the beginning of learning new things and making new friends. What is your dream vacation? My dream vacation would be a mix of relaxation and adventure. I’d love to spend a few days somewhere warm and beautiful exploring local food, culture, and scenery during the day, then slowing down with sunsets and good conversation at night. The perfect balance of exploring and recharging.
November Teachers of the Month- Mr Gee and Mr Johnson
How do you spend your summer breaks? Summers are spent traveling with family and friends, and enjoying days of crafts and gardening with my granddaughters ;)  What makes a ‘good day’ at school? A good day at school is when the math lesson runs smoothly and I get to see the "light bulb" come on for a student who is struggling with a topic. When I am teaching and I see them light up or say "I get it now" - that's a good moment and worth every minute spent teaching!  What is one of your hidden talents? I am not sure it's necessarily a hidden talent or not but I have been doing photography for a long time and I have some pretty amazing portraits that I am proud of :)
