RIDGEFIELD — On Jan. 14, Ridgefield School District officials recognized the January 2025 Employees and Students of the Month during the regular board of directors meeting.
The January employees of the month are Jessica Verpoorten, kindergarten teacher at Union Ridge Elementary, and Angel Slack, lead preschool teacher at the Early Learning Center.
Verpoorten’s top priority is always her students, according to the award, whether that means delivering fantastic lessons, working one on one or advocating for their individual needs.
Slack was honored for creating a safe and engaging environment for learners with all different skill levels and backgrounds. Her students know what to expect and are excited to see what new and exciting activity is waiting for them.
