Each month an Everett Public Schools student can be nominated by their teacher who demonstrates the Core Value of the Month. The nominations are sent to Administration where students are selected to be recognized as a Core Value Champion.


Mrs. Bailey nominated Taylor for exemplifying the Core Value of the Month, Collaboration. Here's what she wrote about Taylor…



"It is my honor to nominate Taylor Miller for the core value of collaboration for Port Gardner this month. Taylor is not only always kind and complimentary to others, but she always enjoys working with peers. She assists her classmates whenever needed and always works toward a shared goal. She has shown so much growth in her positive mindset this year and her positivity, I am so proud of her! She works well with all her classmates and helps to build confidence in others and herself. Taylor also is the first person to include a peer who isn’t feeling welcome to a group with a smile whether in class, at lunch or at recess. Well done Taylor and congratulations!"


Congratulations Taylor!
