Super School Star: Rachel Gravunder, Wadewitz Elementary

Every day students and teachers excel in our local schools. RacinePost will highlight a few of these successes with a weekly series called "Super School Stars." Do you know a student or staff member who deserves recognition? Contact us at: racinepost@gmail.com

for Wadewitz Elementary's upcoming Family Pumpkin Math Night.


Rachel Gravender, the P-5 coordinator at Wadewitz Elementary School, is a part-time employee whose contributions far exceed the time she's paid for, according to school Principal Ursula Hamilton-Perry.

Gravunder goes above and beyond to assist students and staff in any way she can. She assists staff with technology needs when help is not available immediately. She organizes fantastic learning experiences for families and students on a monthly basis (with the help of other dedicated staff members). She also coordinates a phenomenal Math Meet for students across SE Wisconsin.

"She is an awesome addition to our staff and we are very fortunate to have her," Hamilton-Perry wrote in nominating Gravunder for the "Super School Star" award.

Congratulations, Rachel! And thanks to Principal Hamilton-Perry for the nomination.
