🌟 Staff Spotlight: Kenzie Lang – Pre-K Paraprofessional at Suwannee Pineview Elementary 🌟 Meet Kenzie Lang, a dedicated and caring Pre-K paraprofessional entering her third year at Suwannee Pineview Elementary School! Kenzie was inspired to work in education by her love for working with young children and the influence of her aunt, who is also in the field. "I have always loved working with the younger group of children, and seeing how well my aunt does with her kids made me want to give other children the opportunity to have an amazing experience in school with learning opportunities," she shares. What brings Kenzie the most joy in her role? "Seeing the kids' happy faces every day while working with them," she says with a smile. Her positivity and nurturing spirit help create a warm and encouraging classroom environment. One of her favorite classroom traditions is comparing the students' photos from the first and last days of school to show just how much they've grown. "It’s a special way for parents to see how much their child has changed," she explains. Kenzie also loves school-wide traditions, especially the fun and excitement of Homecoming Week dress-up days, when the whole school community comes together in spirit and creativity. We’re lucky to have Ms. Lang as part of our Pineview family! 💛📸🎉

From an early age, Mrs. Hewett knew she wanted to be in education. "I have always loved the school environment—full of learning and wonder," she shares. That sense of curiosity and joy continues to drive her every day in the classroom. What does Mrs. Hewett love most about teaching? "I love building relationships with students and creating lasting memories." Her classroom is a place where students feel seen, valued, and inspired to grow. One of her favorite classroom traditions is hatching chicks, a project that brings science to life and sparks excitement in her students. "I have so many favorites," she says, "but hatching chicks is always a very exciting project." Outside the classroom, her favorite school-wide tradition is the PE Pacers program. "I absolutely love the PE Pacers program because it celebrates another skill that may be a strength for some students."
