This month, we had a tie for nominees for March Employee of the Month. This month our winners are: Levi Weathers and Katelynn Phelps! Nominations from their colleagues included: About Mr. Weathers: "Mr. Weathers works with EVERY grade! That is a lot of lessons/activities! He always has a positive attitude and looks for ways to be encouraging to students and staff members. He makes our workplace feel like family!" About Mrs. Phelps: "Katelynn has the hardest job in the whole school; feeding the students. We all know that if students aren't fed, they can't learn. She tries to find new, kid friendly recipes to try. She decorates the cafeteria for the holidays. She also knows every student by name. Katelyn is the first to arrive at the school building each day. Being a school lunch lady is often a thankless job, but she deserves all the praise in the world." Congratulations to both Mr. Weathers and Mrs. Phelps!
