๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’› VCA STAFF HIGHLIGHT: MISS JOY CHAGOLLA ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฆ…Kindergarten TeacherToday weโ€™re excited to give a special shout-out to Miss Joy Chagolla! One of our VCA parents recently volunteered during hearing screenings and shared this wonderful experience from Miss Joyโ€™s kindergarten class:๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œVCA has completely spoiled me when it comes to teachers! Weโ€™ve had Miss Joy before, and today I was absolutely blown away.Her kindergarten class came into the hearing screening with their hands at their sides, walking in a straight line, and not a single peep! They werenโ€™t upset about having to be quietโ€”they genuinely looked happy to behave and knew exactly what was expected of them.Later, Miss Joy asked me to help hand out whiteboards, markers, and erasers. Every single student knew exactly what to do. They lined up, waited patiently, and then sat quietly drawing or practicing their writing. I even saw two students writing out and practicing a Bible verse!I. WAS. BLOWN. AWAY. I even told Miss Joy sheโ€™s required to come to my house and do whatever she is doing with her class to my kids! ๐Ÿ˜‚Miss Joy is fabulous. I just wanted to give her a shout-out!โ€We couldnโ€™t agree more! ๐Ÿ’› Miss Joyโ€™s classroom is a beautiful example of how structure, encouragement, high expectations, and Christ-centered teaching can help even our youngest Eagles thrive.Thank you, Miss Joy, for the love, patience, and dedication you pour into your students every day. We are so thankful youโ€™re part of the VCA Family! ๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿ›‘๐Ÿ›‘๐Ÿ“ฃ Our VCA/VCHS Teachers are amazing and we would like to make highlighting them a regular part of our social media feed. If you as Parent/Grandparent have a story you would like to share about one of our incredible teachers to get them highlighted please Emily@myvcacademy.com or message our VCA Facebook or Instagram page.
