Magnet Elementary, is the recipient of this month’s ABCD Award. She has been
with the school district for 21 years. During the December Board meeting,
Chief Human Resources Officer Don Cooper presenter her with a plaque.
Assistant Principal Joseph Myles was also present to recognize her.
According to her supervisor, she is exceptional
and consistently goes above and beyond the call of her assigned and
responsible duties. She works and supports the entire school in a number of
ways. She is extremely dedicated and committed to the entire mission of the
school, not just the custodial areas.
She displays a genuine interest in all students
and is supportive of teachers, students, and administrators. She takes on
many tasks beyond her job description, including helping students with
homework in the afternoon and maintaining and carefully securing the lost
and found section for students and parents to claim lost or misplaced
items.. She presents herself with a cheerful spirit and a smile, even in the
face of adversity. She is very helpful in setting up classrooms and offices,
from moving large pieces of furniture to handling clocks and pencil
sharpeners. She is very aggressive in monitoring the building facilities for
safety and general operation. She works very well with the Plant Services
personnel and follows up to ensure work orders are completed.
She works well with the parents and the
community. She works with the school PTA executive officers to facilitate
school functions, advising and helping with decorations for programs. She
serves on the school’s Black History committee and takes an active part of
the program from planning to the finish. When the school’s facilities are
used for the county voting precinct, she coordinates with the voting
officers to ensure that signs (especially for the handicapped) are
strategically placed for a smooth operation that will not interfere with
classroom instructions.
Students and staff enjoy her unique gifts, which enable her to balance a
strong work ethic with her genuine love for people. She is a real asset to
the school, and she is very deserving of this award.
