Jessica Hammer, administrative assistant from Richmond Street School, is this week’s Team Gundo of the Week! 🌟
Here’s what her nominator had to say about her:
“Mrs. Hammer is truly the brains of the operation! She organizes, plans ahead, helps us fix mistakes, and navigates hard conversations, all while greeting staff, students, and families with a warm smile. She is firm, creative, thoughtful, fun, and funny. A master scheduler who somehow thinks of everything. She brings invaluable perspective from her many roles: parent, cheer coach, PTA leader, district behaviorist, RSS Student Safety Assistant, and now administrative assistant—which really means she wears hats we haven't even imagined yet. We are so grateful to have her on our team!”
Thank you for being a valuable part of the ESUSD team, Jessica! 👏

El Segundo High School sophomore Abhaya Alurkar recently raised $1,500 for the National Association for the Welfare of the Physically Challenged in Pune, India! 💙
Earlier this year, Abhaya learned the students at the institute were unable to celebrate Diwali due to limited resources. Through her home baking business and a community fundraiser, she ensured students could celebrate the festival for the first time in years.
We are so proud of her initiative, entrepreneurship, and compassion for others! 👏
