Greetings!
This afternoon, Marcella LeBeau’s own Kayty Mulford (Kindergarten teacher) and Krista Peterka (instructional coach) hosted a coaching lab for SFSD elementary instructional coaches.
Coaching labs provide a unique opportunity for job-embedded professional development, where coaches observe one another in action and then debrief together to reflect, share insights, and strengthen our collective work with teachers.
Today’s lab highlighted the power of collaboration. As a new-to-district teacher, Kayty’s dedication and commitment to her students shined through. Together, she and Krista co-planned a math lesson designed to maximize student engagement—and it was a success!
✨ Way to go, Kayty! We are so grateful for the energy, growth mindset, and commitment you bring to your classroom.
We are proud of Kayty and all of our teachers at Marcella LeBeau. Thank you for making our school a place where collaboration, growth, and student success come first.

Today we celebrated the ribbon cutting of our beautiful Marcella LeBeau Elementary! As community members, educators, and the LeBeau family gathered together, we were reminded of Marcella LeBeau's lasting impact on our community.

Ryman LeBeau, Marcella's grandson, called on us to uphold her loving soul and belief in the power of education as we prepare to welcome students next week. We are honored to continue the legacy of Marcella LeBeau!
