Celebrating the Heart of Our Dolphin Family
At North Augusta Elementary, we are blessed with educators and staff who go above and beyond every single day for our students. This month, we are proud to shine the spotlight on two incredible individuals who truly live out what it means to be part of our Dolphin family.
🍎 You Rock Teacher of the Month: Ms. Jamie Pope (5th Grade)
Our January You Rock Teacher is the fabulous and fun-loving Ms. Jamie Pope!
Ms. Pope brings joy, creativity, and energy into her classroom each day, creating an environment where students feel seen, understood, and excited to learn. She has a special gift for building personal connections — not only with her students, but also with colleagues across grade levels. Her classroom is a place where learning is engaging, meaningful, and filled with encouragement.
Ms. Pope is always willing to lend a helping hand and consistently gives her very best to ensure students understand the content being taught. Her dedication to collaboration and school culture does not go unnoticed. She plays an active role in helping plan and carry out major school events, supporting both students and staff behind the scenes.
One shining example of her initiative and passion for literacy is the schoolwide March Madness Read Aloud Tournament — an exciting event Ms. Pope sponsored and developed on her own to promote a love of reading across our school. Her creativity and leadership continue to make NAUES a fun and inspiring place to learn.
We are so thankful for Ms. Pope’s positive spirit, caring heart, and commitment to our Dolphins!
💛 You Rock Staff Member of the Month: Mrs. Aimee Reichling (Kindergarten Instructional Aide)
Our January You Rock Staff Member is the wonderful Mrs. Aimee Reichling, Kindergarten Instructional Aide.
Working with our energetic kindergarten students requires patience, kindness, structure, understanding, and lots of love — and Mrs. Reichling brings all of that and more every single day. She creates a supportive environment where our youngest learners feel safe, encouraged, and ready to grow.
Her students adore her, and it shows in the way they work hard, make positive choices, and take pride in their learning. Mrs. Reichling’s calm presence and caring nature help shape strong foundations not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well.
Beyond the classroom, her dedication to NAUES is felt throughout the school. She is always willing to help wherever needed, stepping in with a smile and a servant’s heart. Her kindness and teamwork make a lasting impact on both students and staff.
🐬 We Are Grateful
Ms. Pope and Mrs. Reichling are shining examples of the heart, commitment, and love that make North Augusta Elementary such a special place. Their hard work, compassion, and dedication truly make a difference in the lives of our students.
Thank you both for being a blessing to our school. You truly ROCK! 🌟💙💛
