					<description><![CDATA[Congratulations to RJR's GEM of Appreciation for January, Mrs. Cindi Evans!  Ms. Evans teaches 4th grade Reading, Language, and Social Studies at RJ Richey and constantly is working hard to help students set goals and see and feel success.

Ms. Evans was nominated multiple times for this recognition, and we'd love to share a few of the nominations with all of our BCISD family about why Mrs. Evans is this month's GEM:
She has had such a significant impact not only on the kids in her classroom, but throughout the community of Burnet as well.  In the classroom especially, she uses engaging and hands-on lessons to make difficult content easier to understand and students always leave her classroom excited about learning. She is dedicated to helping her students grow, and makes real world connections in her classroom!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[RJ is super excited to recognize our Focus team composed of Ms. Kaila Rogers, Ms. Kristina Bailey, and Ms. Kerri Samuels collectively as our RJ GEM for November!

RJ Richey's Focus team consistently goes above and beyond job titles or job descriptions. These team members go out of their way to build  relationships with some of the more challenging students and provide support for our teachers so that all have a safe and positive learning environment.  For a few of the students at RJ, these are the only people they respond positively to and it's their faces that our students can't wait to see in the mornings! Thanks to this team for helping to brighten the day of our students and for shining bright for our staff!]]></description>
