Excellence award spotlight ✨ Steven Then, a long-term substitute teacher at Donahue School, recently received a surprise visit—and award—from Superintendent Soto. Mr. Then was initially hired in August as a full-time student support interventionist and just a few days before the new school year started, he was promoted to fill a vacant fifth grade math position. He has shown incredible growth since the beginning of the year, sustains authentic relationships with students, and participates meaningfully in coaching and professional development. Congratulations, Mr. Then!
