This past week, we recognized our amazing school administrative assistants, Mrs. Donna Colasuono and Mrs. Jennifer Carberry, for Administrative Professionals Day. Our main office is the heart of the building, and their work ensures it beats strongly every day. From greeting students, families, and visitors with warmth and care to managing the many moving parts behind the scenes, they are essential to the smooth, successful operation of Tisdale School!
What the students are saying:
“They are nice and help us to get home safely." - Hunter, Kindergarten Student
"Mrs. Colasuono and Mrs. Carberry are very kind to me whenever I need stuff, like a cup for water! They always smile at me and ask me about my day.” - Emily, Third Grade Student
“They are always kind to students because they greet us every morning at the front door. They ask, ‘How’s your morning going?’ and that makes me happy to come to school.” - Ethan, Third Grade Student
What their colleagues are saying:
“Jen and Donna make a huge difference in our school every single day. As the music teacher, I especially appreciate how they jump in to help during busy show days, whether it’s tracking down microphone batteries, doing last-minute logistics, or just keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. They are always willing to lend a hand, are always kind, and somehow manage to stay calm even when things feel hectic. Knowing they’re there and ready to support me always makes even the hardest days feel a lot easier. We are so lucky to have them!”- Mrs. Samantha Campbell
“Jen and Donna truly go above and beyond every day, helping make Tisdale the supportive and nurturing environment it is. Their positivity and dedication create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who walks through the door. They consistently anticipate needs for both teachers and students, offer help without hesitation, and bring a sense of warmth that makes a real difference. Tisdale is a better place because of their commitment and care. Thank you so much for all you do, Jen and Donna!” -Ms. Daria Pontone
Please join me in thanking Mrs. Colasuono and Mrs. Carberry for their dedication and the important role they play in making Tisdale School a welcoming and well-organized place for all!
