🌟 Feature Friday: Angelica London, Data Manager at South Topsail Elementary! 🌟
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Angelica London, South Topsail Elementary’s amazing Data Manager. Ms. London is the kind of person who always goes the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether she’s handling her own responsibilities, stepping in as a front desk receptionist, or even acting as the school nurse, she’s always ready to help wherever she’s needed.
When the new Information Management System rolled out, Ms. London didn’t miss a beat. She dove into every training video and worked tirelessly to ensure all the data was entered before the school year even began. She’s also the first to collaborate with other schools to get student records where they need to be, making sure teachers have what they need to hit the ground running.
Her colleagues affectionately call her #emailMrsLondon because she’s the go-to person for just about everything. On top of all that, she’s a familiar face in the PACES after-school program, building connections with students outside the classroom.
Ms. London, your hard work, positive attitude, and willingness to step up wherever needed don’t go unnoticed. Thank you for everything you do for South Topsail Elementary—it wouldn’t be the same without you! 🌟 #OnePender
