Spearman ISD will be recognizing staff members who go above and beyond with the Spotlight Above and Beyond Award. Abby Pipkin and Adriana Mendoza, are being spotlighted for October.
Abby Pipkin and Adriana Mendoza teach English Language Arts and Reading (ELAR) at Spearman Junior High. Pipkin teaches 6th and 8th grade ELAR, and Mendoza teaches 7th grade ELAR. “These fabulous teachers had the idea of hosting a Publishing Party at Spearman Junior High. They took the time to decorate the hallway and arrange their classrooms to make it inviting to the parents. Every student published a paper. Their work was displayed in the classroom and hallway, “stated Craig Black, Spearman Junior High Principal. There were over eighty guests that attended the Publishing Party.
“Both of these ladies are great classroom teachers, and they chose to make positive connections with the parents. It was a great success. We are looking to expand the idea to other departments,” added Black.
Congratulations on a very deserving award!

October is National Principal’s Month. This month-long celebration is a time to recognize and thank our hard-working principals on each campus of Spearman Independent School District. We are fortunate to have outstanding men and women lead the campuses. Lizet Olmos is the new principal at Gus Birdwell Elementary. She previously was the assistant principal. " If you have been at GBE before, you know it is just a great place to be. If it ever begins to feel like a bad day, someone on campus will fill your heart with joy,” shared Olmos. She added how proud she was of the staff at GBE. “Being part of the GBE staff is something to feel very proud of. We had to survive a few days shorthanded in the custodial department and without question many of the staff members jumped in to help. They threw away trash and vacuumed classrooms. The staff at GBE is remarkable, and I am very proud to be a part of it.” Did you know that Olmos can predict things pretty well. “My husband doesn’t always like my sports predictions ,” laughed Olmos. Another interesting fact is she has not watched a scary movie since 2008! Her parents are her inspiration. “ My parents are hardworking, humble, and kind. They are always willing to lend a hand. They continuously remind me to put God first and the rest will fall into place,” shared Olmos. Olmos grew up in Spearman and still remembers the ESL class with Mrs. Stinson. “She had a paddle accessible. Although she never used it on me, she can have most of the credit of why I learned English so fast,” laughed Olmos. Keep enjoying the little moments and smiling at the great things happening at GBE.
