2. And the Nominees are…

4. I have never seen Mrs. Schey lose her cool. She is patient and kind with students. Mrs. Schey is flexible - she switches duties and covers classrooms at all grade levels and subjects without complaint or hesitation. She has a positive attitude and students love her!

5. Julian is able to easily and quickly adapt to the constant changes in North Metro. He is a team player and supports the entire staff. He is great with the students and they look up to him! Julian is always ready to help. He is able to seamlessly take over the class when needed. He is a great friend and a perfect support person to all North Metro staff.

6. Kelsie is a phenomenal employee! She is competent, helpful, and such an asset to the special education department. She works exceptionally well with the students she is assigned to. She is very intuitive with regard to her student's needs, and that is the greatest gift someone in her position could possess. Her position at Sweet Apple could not be filled with a more perfect person. She truly deserves this recognition (and a teaching position when she graduates and gets certified). :-)

7. Lorraine is willing to do ANYTHING. She is able to teach multiple grade level groups, follow student behavior plans, conduct social groups, monitor SAE cafe, supervise Daycare dismissal, and assist with morning carpool. Lorraine asks to do things for me. She is tireless. She laughs with and loves on our students. She supports SAE in school and community activities.

8. Lynn comes to my math class twice a week and helps support my students. She is always flexible and will do whatever I ask her to do. She is able to quickly understand what I need her to do and she does it effectively with my students. She interacts very positively with them.

9. He is currently working in a room with students with behavior problems. He is an inspirational person. He helps those students he works with both educationally and academically. Stu is more then just an assistant, he is a mentor. It is amazing to watch him help a student in crisis. He is able to help them change their behavior and become more successful in their environment. I know that I can always count on him to help me when there is a problem in another room. He is extremely flexible and always willing to volunteer.
