🎶 **LEAF Teacher Recognition Spotlight!** 🎶

Get ready for some BIG energy because today we’re celebrating **Mrs. Emily Fitch**, the phenomenal **Music Teacher and Choral Director at Ledyard Middle School**, recognized through the **LEAF Teacher Recognition Program**! 💙✨

Mrs. Fitch is the heartbeat of LMS — filling the school with music, joy, and the kind of confidence that only comes from finding your voice. Whether she’s directing a chorus, leading rehearsals, or helping a student discover their musical spark, she brings passion, patience, and pure magic to every moment.

Her students don’t just learn music — they learn teamwork, expression, and the power of creating something beautiful together. LMS shines brighter because of her leadership, her artistry, and her unwavering belief in her students.

Thank you, Mrs. Fitch, for lifting voices, building community, and making music a vibrant part of life at Ledyard Middle School. 🌟🎤

🇪🇸 **LEAF Teacher Recognition Spotlight!** 🇪🇸

Let’s give a huge shoutout to **Mr. Kurt Jannke**, an incredible **Spanish III teacher at Ledyard High School**, recognized through the **LEAF Teacher Recognition Program**! 💙

Mr. Jannke is one of those teachers who seems to be *everywhere* — bringing energy, humor, and heart to his classroom while also wearing more hats than we can count. From **More Than Words**, to **Ski Club**, to **Travel Club**, and so many others we can’t even list them all here, he helps create opportunities that shape students’ experiences far beyond the school day.

In the classroom, he makes language learning engaging and meaningful. Across the school, he builds community, connection, and unforgettable memories.

Thank you, Mr. Jannke, for everything you do for LHS — in Spanish class and in all the spaces you lead with passion and care. 🌟
