Each month all staff members have the opportunity to nominate their peers for the School District of Arcadia Stronger Together Award. The purpose of the Stronger Together Award is to recognize employees who serve our district in an exceptional manner by collaborating with staff, inspiring students and engaging families.

Taryn is a Middle School and High School Art teacher who works with students to discover their true talents and then prepares them to use them in the future.   She is also encouraging students to try new artistic techniques and expand their knowledge and repertoire of skills.  Taryn goes out of her way to help ALL students, regardless of their ability level, to experience the artist in their own lives.  Taryn has developed close relationships with many students in her classes. She also sets high expectations and wants them to become the best that they can be, even if it is outside of their comfort zone; she is there along the way, encouraging each student to move forward.

Thank you, Taryn, for your unwavering commitment to our students and staff. Your efforts make a meaningful difference in the lives of so many, and we are incredibly lucky to have you as part of our team!
