Our nominee has the
position of Guidance Assessment Assistant and has been part of the SSDP family
for 3 years. She creates a culture of caring and creativity. Every morning she
greets bus riders with a smile, hug, and encouragement. She looks out for
tearful students, inappropriate clothes for the weather or a missing backpack.
She facilitates our Beary Christmas program. Her diligence guarantees each child
will receive a new blanket, shoes, pajamas, and books. She contacted community
partners and citizens to contribute for the benefit of needy students. She
creates a testing atmosphere that is low stress, consistent and calming for
students and teachers. This impacts our student's scores ensuring the best
environment for our students. She is everyone's go to girl! With a cheerful
attitude, and an infectious laugh she does everything from filling in for the
front office secretary to covering check-in-check-outs for the Behavior Coach.
She serves with her heart and does everything with love. She looks to show
appreciation to staff, students, and bus drivers like having a cart to deliver
treats to teachers on busy days and promotes relationships by taking pictures
for a staff bulletin board, so we know who everyone is around school. She
noticed girls without a positive influence in their lives. She started a group
to do creative projects and pour attention into the lives of these girls. We
call this group "Moments with Miracle". They loved their time to chat about
things going on and the bond they
developed.
