๐ Double the Celebration! Two New SACS Superstars! ๐
The SACS Education Foundation is proud to recognize two incredible employees who go above and beyond for students every single day through the SACS Superstar Award. These shoutouts come directly from nominations submitted by families and staff just like you, making this recognition especially meaningful. ๐ซ
Please join us in congratulating Sue Caudill and Lori Youngโtrue pillars of our SACS community!
๐ถ Sue Caudill
From the moment students walk into the music room, Mrs. Caudill creates far more than lessonsโshe creates experiences. Her classroom is a place where students feel valued, capable, and inspired to explore music in meaningful ways.
Through engaging musicals, powerful storytelling, and countless hours spent directing performances and organizing concerts, Mrs. Caudill builds confidence, teamwork, and pride in every student she reaches. Her passion ignites enthusiasm school-wide, and families consistently share how much joy and professionalism shine through each event. Deer Ridge is so lucky to have her! โค๏ธ
๐ Lori Young
Lori truly goes above and beyond each day in our cafeteria, ensuring every child is safe, cared for, and well fed. Her deep knowledge of studentsโ food allergies, constant communication with the school nurse, and attention to detail make a critical difference.
When potential allergic reactions arose after lunch, Lori quickly identified a new food product as the possible cause and immediately took actionโadvocating for a return to a safer option. Her vigilance and dedication may have prevented a life-threatening situation. Loriโs care, advocacy, and commitment make her one of the beautiful pillars of our school, district, and community. ๐
Sue and Lori, thank you for the heart, passion, and unwavering commitment you bring to our students and to SACS. You truly shine! ๐
