🐾 Bulldog Pride: A Legend Goes Out on Top! 🐾

Join us in giving a massive Cigarroa Middle School shout-out to the incredible Mrs. Cruz Aguilar! 🏆

We are beyond proud to announce that Mrs. Aguilar has received a district-wide award for Outstanding Kami Usage. Out of hundreds of middle school teachers across the entire district, she claimed the #1 spot for the highest engagement! 💻✨

This achievement is extra special as Mrs. Aguilar prepares to retire at the end of this year. Talk about leaving a legacy! She has consistently shown that being a lifelong learner and embracing new technology is the Bulldog way.

Mrs. Aguilar, thank you for your dedication to our students and for showing us all how to "go out on top." You will be greatly missed, but what an amazing way to celebrate your final chapter with us!

As always, dream big, work hard, GO BULLDOGS!

Help us celebrate her in the comments! 👇
