Music that Describes Estefania


Estefania Peralta was nominated by a colleague, Chianti Cartwright.

Ms. Peralta is the heartbeat of the front office and an invaluable asset to the Tradewinds Middle School family. As the school's Data Processor, Ms. Peralta goes far beyond the expectations of her role — serving not only with precision and professionalism, but with warmth, grace, and unwavering positivity. She is truly a ray of sunshine. Whether she's juggling enrollment, managing records, or assisting with countless day-to-day operations, Ms. Peralta always does so with a smile and a calming presence that puts staff, students, and families at ease. Her ability to stay organized and efficient while keeping service at the center of her work is extraordinary.

Ms. Peralta plays a crucial role in developing the school's welcoming atmosphere. She helps make TMS feel like a home. Her kindness, compassion, and willingness to go the extra mile for anyone—whether it's a parent needing guidance or a teacher in a bind—demonstrate the depth of her character and commitment to excellence. Her leadership is quiet, but powerful.

Ms. Peralta leads by example, modeling professionalism, empathy, and resilience. She's the person others naturally turn to for help, not only because of her skills, but because of her heart. The comments shared by her colleagues say it best:

"She is just amazing,"

"helpful and kind,"

"an amazing person to staff and our children."

"At times, Ms. Peralta's work may be behind the scenes, but her impact is front and center. She lifts those around her with kindness, helps our systems run smoothly with care, and sets a high standard for integrity and service. She is a LifeChanger through and through, and we are so proud to have her back in the TMS family," said Cartwright.

Thrilled to see this young lady nominated. I have known Stef since 20 11-and I am grateful. She is an admirable young lady with a heart of gold. I was blessed to have her as a nanny for my children. She treated them as if they were her own children. She took the time out to play with them, do crafts with them and most of all make them feel loved. Her soul is pure and genuine. Anyone who encounters Stef is blessed. She is a giver not a taker and that is what makes her golden. She serves others before she serves herself. She is a special person and it shows through her character.

She is the most deserving person to receive an award that represents genuine goodness and integrity to a job and workplace.

The description says it best. Ms. Peralta is truly a blessing to the Tradewinds Middle School community. The saying goes "you never know what you have until it's gone"; having experienced Ms. Peralta's absence made me realize the impact of her presence. Her title is Data Processor, but what leaves her lasting imprint on TMS is how she continuously exceeds expectations and goes beyond her roles and responsibilities to ensure students, staff, and families are attended to. Thank you for all you do, Ms. Peralta; you truly are a gem!
