Cheryl Economu ... 'nu uh!'

May 2, 2013
Mount Hall intervention specialist Cheryl Economu reacts to news that she is the Boundary County School District 101 Classified Employee of the Month.
Mt. Hall Elementary Principal Jim Nash is a talker, but he's seldom effusive. You can tell he's run out of things to say when he says, "and I could go on and on!" That's what he did in nominating School District 101's April Classified Employee of the Month, Cheryl Economu.

While her exact words weren't recorded, it's obvious that Cheryl, by the look on her face when  told of the selection by Mr. Nash (photo above) is even less effusive!

"Cheryl Economu is a caring, dedicated, positive, flexible, and highly skilled" Nash said, (this is where "I could go on and on" kicks in) "'specialist!' Cheryl has risen to the call of doing more with less. She was asked to do the work of two people this year as our Math and Reading Intervention Specialist at Mount Hall.

"At the end of last year, our funding was reduced and Cheryl was asked to fill the void created by the elimination of another full-time interventionist. She has done so with great result and competence, while maintaining a smile on her face and love in her heart. This is the FINE person she is, as she literally dashes about from one group to the next all day long. In other words, she doesn’t have a second to spare on her tight schedule! Our Mount Hall Family (kids, staff, volunteers, and parents) says thanks to her and for Boundary County School District 101 to recognizing her for this deserving award."

Nash can't be sure, but he thinks Cheryl said "thank you!" as she flew past.
