I would love to nominate Millie Spilman and Bernice Cyr as Scottsdale Sensations. They work very hard in Sequoya Elementary School's front office on a daily basis. They enjoy dressing up for every occasion in order to make students and staff smile and have a better day. If teachers ever need a helping hand, they are willing to pitch in and make our lives a little easier.

They have worked so hard in helping make our fundraiser a huge success. Sequoya Student Council hosted a T-shirt sale in order to Walk on Nitalia's Team. Our entire school donated through the PE Department. This was all to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Mrs. Spilman and Mrs. Cyr sorted, copied, arranged and helped with the orchestration of this huge project. Mrs. Cyr made a colorful pillar poster, and Mrs. Spilman delivered daily announcements that were very so uplifting and motivating.

It is such a pleasure to have two caring people running our front office. It is comforting to know that Sequoya is in great hands! Millie and Bernice are a wonderful team and help make this a fun, caring, dedicated to doing great things, A+++ school.
