PARENT GRATEFUL FOR LORETTO ELEMENTARY DATA CLERK BETH HETH – This Team Duval Shoutout celebrates Beth Heth, a Data Entry Clerk at Loretto Elementary School, and the way she helped a parent in a pinch! Jennifer Hunter shares the following: “As a first-time Loretto mom of a kindergartener, I’m so grateful for the support I received from Beth Heth. When I realized I hadn’t registered my daughter properly with DCPS—a mistake that could have caused a lot of issues—Beth stepped in and helped me get everything sorted out. She was prompt, patient, and answered all my questions with ease. Thanks to her guidance, what could have been a stressful experience turned into a positive one. I truly appreciate her going above and beyond!”

Our 5th grade leaders teamed up with Kindergarten today to create digital scarecrows in Scratch Jr., inspired by a fall-themed story! 🍂🎃
It was a beautiful blend of storytelling, coding, and mentorship. Watching older students guide younger ones through creativity and tech was pure magic.
