Congratulations to WHMS Staff Tammy Dentice!

She is this week's Martino Merit Award recipient, presented to her on behalf of WHMS student Emily O'Connor.

"Everyday of sixth grade, I was self-conscious and scared of what my peers thought of me, and I worried if I would ever be able to call any of my classmates a friend, but Mrs. Dentice pushed me when I was scared, and that little push helped me become more than my doubts and fears. Mrs. Dentice's honesty and affection created a bond in all of her classes, a bond that made us more than what was seen at first glance, a bond that made us feel safe. This is how Mrs. Dentice treats everyone, and it truly impacts the halls we walk in every day. Mrs.Dentice, you deserve it!"--Emily O'Connor

This award, established by WHMS staff in memory of former Wisconsin Hills Principal Robyn Martino (who always put people and relationships first), alternates each week between staff and student.
