Employee of the Year Celebration - 2023
Congratulations to Capri's employees and volunteer of the year!
Capri recognized two outstanding employees and one volunteer as our employees of the year.
Capri’s Classified employee of the year is Allison Allen. "Allison is gracious and kind. Students and staff alike are drawn to her caring personality and dry sense of humor. She is professional, an amazing partner to work with, and has an incredible sixth sense when it comes to predicting and solving potential problamatic situations around campus. She is lika a co-teacher, most definitely my partner-in-crime, and right-hand. I am proud to call Allison my collegue and friend. It is time for her to receive the ackowledgement that she desreves!" -- Megan Ferrito, TK teacher
Capri’s Volunteer of the Year is Cindy Hamilton. Cindy has done a remarkable job as Capri’s PTA’s president the past two years. Her ability to lead a volunteer group in raising funds to support Capri by providing many opportunities for our children is to be commended. Coming out of a pandemic, volunteer opportunities were tough, but Cindy always had an idea or suggestion on how to provide more for our students and staff. Field trips, assemblies, teacher appreciation events, grade level supplies, and teacher funds are just a few of the amazing resources provided to the Capri community.
Capri's Teacher of the Year is Allyson Shimosaka. "Allyson is well-deserving of this award and recognition and stands out in many ways. Teachers, staff, and students alike are greeted by her genuine “hello’s” and smile when she sees them throughout the day. In her quest for excellence in education, Allyson seeks learning opportunities that support herself, her colleagues, and students. A lifelong learner, Allyson has taken on the challenges of continuous professional development, most recently in the area of the Science of Reading. Impressively, she readily shares the knowledge and resources acquired with her colleagues and peers. All this in the pursuit of providing the best for her students as well as all students in our school.
Allyson provides the necessary academics but more importantly, fosters a climate where children become the best versions of themselves. Capri is so fortunate to have our teacher of the year Allyson Shimosaka on our staff." --- Lisa Hayes, First grade teacher
