A compilation of nominations received in regards to Mrs. Pragman from district employees is below.
"McCulloch Elementary nominates Kimberly Pragman as our RepMO Hero for February. Kimberly is new to us this year and has been an absolute blessing to our building. She has a heart of gold and embodies the pillars of the McCulloch mission statement of serving, kindness, and learning. Kimberly can regularly be seen helping with projects around the school to help support other staff members and students. For example, during Veterans Day she created a balloon arch and cards for every veteran that came through our parade, and she recently gave up her plan and lunch time to help us make kindness shirts for a recent spirit day. In her classroom she creates a warm and safe learning environment with high expectations. Her students continually achieve at high levels because of the expectations and support she provides to them. She has gone above and beyond with her student leadership team this year by arranging multiple fundraisers that have helped raise funds for our school so other student leadership teams can support our school and community. We are so thankful to have her at McCulloch and all she does to ensure that McCulloch students can serve together to be kind, high-achieving, lifelong learners!"
