We’re excited to launch our new weekly Team Gundo of the Week series, where we celebrate the teachers and staff who help our district shine! ⭐️

This week, we are proud to recognize Kyle Azcuna from Center Street School. His nominator shared the following:

"Kyle Azcuna is the heartbeat of Center Street School. Whether he’s out front directing traffic, greeting families, or moving around campus to support students, Kyle brings energy, care, and consistency to everything he does. He connects effortlessly with kids and staff alike, building trust and joy in every corner of the school. His colleagues admire him, our students adore him, and his presence has become an essential part of the Center Street School experience. We are grateful for Kyle’s unwavering dedication and the positivity he brings to our community every day."

Thank you, Kyle, for all you do for our students, staff, and families. 👏
