Ms. Wigmosta has also written a complex area-wide math pacing guide for our statewide elementary math curriculum. ‘As the principal of Kea’au Elementary School, | had numerous opportunities to observe Ms. Wigmosta perform the duties listed above and much, much more. I have witnessed Ms. Wigmosta exhibit exceptional facilitation skills as she gracefully assisted a grade level work through situations that seemed unresolvable. I have professionally benefited from Ms, Wigmosta’s ability to simplify the use technological tools such as Google Drive applications. Most importantly, I had the pleasure of experiencing the heart and passion that Ms. Wigmosta possesses for the education of our children. Ms. Wigmosta consistently performs her duties at “distinguished” levels and, as a result, has gained the respect of her fellow teachers. Ms. Wigmosta will be greatly missed. She is the type of teacher that I wish my daughter had while she was in elementary school.
