We are so lucky to have incredible educators on our campus, and this week weā€™re shining the spotlight on Coach Suarez for all she does!

If thereā€™s one word for Coach Suarez, itā€™s unstoppable. She goes out of her way every single day to make sure her students, teachers, and staff have everything they need to succeed. šŸ¦…

On the court, she coaches with passion and sets the bar high. In the halls, her positive attitude lifts everyone around her and makes Fossum shine. ā¤ļøšŸ–¤

Coach Suarez isnā€™t just a coachā€”sheā€™s a role model, motivator, and a true Falcon leader. We are so lucky to have her in our nest! šŸ™Œ
