It's time for our weekly Staff Spotlight, where we take time to introduce one of our amazing staff members to you, our community. We hope you enjoy getting to know us a little better. Today we introduce the wonderful, Mrs. Diane Gotto. She is our Food Service Director /Head Cook. She has worked at CO-U for 21 years beginning in June 2003! She started her career here doing summer cleaning in the Ute building, then moved into her current cook position.
Some of the things she loves most about working here are peacing out at 1:30 (lol), being connected with the kids keeping her young, and getting to see her granddaughter at school which is pretty cool. When asked what advice she would give to someone just starting their career here, she stated “Get to know everyone at CO-U. Don’t stay with your class or room, get out to talk to everybody.” Her favorite school meal is sacked lunches.
Outside of school she enjoys spending time with her family. This includes her husband Jeff of almost 34 years, their daughter Dana and her husband Brian and their 2 beautiful daughters, Vada (4) and Veronica (2). Also their son Josh and his wife Lindsey who are expecting a baby girl in June, along with their two dogs, Amara and Gator. In her free time she enjoys riding her golf cart around Ute, baking, shopping online and spending time with granddaughters, family and friends.
3rd grade has been learning about light and shadows in both Reading and Science. This morning we went out and traced our shadows. This afternoon we went and observed how our shadows moved! ☀️
Mrs. Snyder passed out information on the Conditions for Learning Survey today . This is a confidential survey that our students in grades 3-8 fill out on the computer. If you have any questions on the survey contact Mrs. Snyder or Mr. Eggeling. All of the information is also on the school website in the documents portion.
