Woman with curly brown hair smiles wide sitting on the ground helping a student

Every teacher deserves a cheerleader, and at Hawthorne Elementary, they have one of the best! As an instructional coach, Kendra Sundall goes far beyond just supporting instruction. She fills in where needed, builds meaningful relationships, and makes herself available any time a teacher needs advice, ideas, or someone to listen.

No matter what she's doing, Kendra shows up with positivity, expertise, and her heart. Her colleagues describe her as selfless, encouraging, and someone who lifts others up and never says no to a challenge.

Whether she's creating materials, helping teachers feel confident with new curriculum, or simply leaving a note of encouragement after a tough day, Kendra is the ultimate teammate.

Thank you, Kendra, for going above and beyond each and every day!
