Ginia has a knack for teaching kids. There is not a day that I don't hear about how well she knows her students and their likes and dislikes. She is supportive and accepting of all students and finds ways to include the students who may not have an interest in art at first. She is never negative or judging towards students or staff. Students feel comfortable in her classroom and it shows!
Our district’s mission is to create lifelong learners and productive citizens.

Miss Brittany shows up every day with a positive attitude ready to go. She does her best to help support the classroom and the students at all times. She has a quiet respectful manner that is calming and supportive for the students. We love her willing attitude to work hard and guide the students to always do and be their best. Thank you for all your hard work.
She is always very enthusiastic about helping our preschoolers. She goes out of her way to ensure every child will be successful. Brittany deserves this award because she is helping to enrich the students' outlook of not only school life but also by encouraging them to be good people in their community.
Brittany is a fantastic person in the preschool room! She is always so helpful and kind to all of the students. My son is in preschool and he always talks about how nice and helpful Miss Brittany is! I know with a class full of 5 year olds- things can get crazy, but she always seems so calm about everything.
Ms. Brittany is such an amazing para for the AM preschoolers. I have NEVER not seen a smile on her face. She helps in every way possible. She makes sure our kids are happy, safe, and learning!

Their unwavering dedication to our schools and community serves as an inspiration to all. They’ve supported everything from Khoury League to NRG and so much more.

Tiffany has been taking on extra workloads with our day janitor out recovering. She always does her work with a smile even though we all know she is tired. Anytime something is asked to be done, she is quick to do it without complaint.
Mrs. Tiffany is willing to help wherever she is needed, takes pride in a job well done and loves seeing the kids smile each day. She is a hard worker, team player and we are glad she is part of our JBE family.

Lacy is fantastic at building relationships with the students. I've seen first hand how her interactions with specific students have changed the way those students feel about themselves. Not only that, the way she treats her coworkers is above and beyond with kindness and love. She works so hard at her job, but she also works so hard at being a good human.
Lacy is always quick to support students. Anytime I ask for assistance or for her to talk to a student she pulls them right away or makes sure to do it typically by the end of the day. She is great at building relationships with students. On top of this, she incorporates lessons that match character traits of the month, pulls small groups for social skills, and supports all staff and students in our building.
Mrs. Gambill has a caring heart, strives to lift others up and is always willing to help wherever she is needed. She has high expectations and a loving heart! The world would be a much kinder place if there were more Mrs. Gambill’s.
