🌟 Feature Friday: Amanda Gillespie, Pre-K Instructional Assistant at South Topsail Elementary! 🌟

Ms. Gillespie’s dedication shines especially bright when challenges arise. Recently, with her teaching partner Ms. Baxter out to care for a loved one, Ms. Gillespie stepped up without hesitation to ensure the classroom ran smoothly. Her hard work and caring nature ensures every child is engaged, cared for, and thriving, embodying the heart of early education.
Ms. Gillespie’s positive influence extends to her colleagues, making her a valued team player in the Pre-K department. Ms. Baxter expresses deep gratitude for her dedication, sharing how she seamlessly takes on additional roles and responsibilities with a supportive, positive attitude.
