Flexible. dedicated, reliable, positive and
passionate are just a few of the characteristics that our nominee conveys on a
daily basis. I like to think of her as our "campus ninja" since she can
often be found jumping in to assist in just about any situation on our campus
but quietly removes herself from the spotlight when recognition and accolades
are being passed out.
When teachers describe her, they sing her praises for providing them support
through her efficiency in the production room. With the changes in reading
curriculum this year, teachers have relied on a larger number of copies than
usual to meet the instructional and interventional needs of the students.
Our nominee went above and beyond by showing up early and staying late to make
sure these materials were ready and teachers had what they needed to provide
appropriate reading instruction to our students. Rarely do our teachers
have to wait for a three day turnaround in production. Our nominee is
organized, proficient, and keeps our production room from getting behind.
Outside of her normal, daily responsibility of providing copies and production
items for the 804 students in attendance, this individual shares her compassion
and love for life with some of our most at-risk students. She accompanies a
nonverbal, CBSA student to PE each day. This position has been posted and
vacant since July, but our nominee gladly stepped in to serve in this capacity
and fulfill one our greatest needs. In addition, she provides Tier 1
reading instruction in second grade classrooms throughout our school. When
the days are over, you can find her serving on our school's STEAM Leadership and
Parent Engagement Leadership Teams.
We are honored to recommend our nominee as Santa Rosa County's School Related
Employee of the Year.
