"Ricky is a true asset to our facilities team. His strong work ethic and positive attitude have quickly made him the unofficial leader of our night crew. Ricky consistently goes above and beyond, stepping in to help wherever needed across the district." - Ricky's Supervisor

"One thing I love about my work at DES is the chance to build relationships with students. Because I work in a multi-age classroom, we get to have students for two years in a row. In that time, I can really get to know them and make a connection with them."

“There are two things that I find most rewarding about being a band director. The first is witnessing the pure joy that students experience when opening the case of their instrument for the first time. I love that I can share a truly novel experience with them!"

"My favorite part of working in the Middle School Main Office is getting to connect with all the staff and students. I also have the pleasure of working for two great administrators Ms. Champlain and Mr. Harris as well. My favorite is when the students stop by to say hi."

"I have the unique opportunity of working with my students for many years. I love getting to know their families and to be part of their lives during so many of life's milestones."
