for September, October |
|
November 13, 2014 |
Boundary County School District 101 has named
Employees of the Month for the months of
September and October.
 Congratulations
to Kelly Hinthorn, the
September certified employee of the month for
Boundary County School District. Kelly is a
mentor and model teacher. She embraces the
philosophy of helping every student achieve
success every time. Other teachers can go to her
when they are struggling and know they will get
good advice.
She also volunteers so much of her time to help
other groups be successful. She is the leader of
students at our school and helps the leadership
class create wonderful activities.
Our school is very lucky to have a person who
works as hard as Kelly does. Awesome work Kelly!
September's Classified Employee of the Month is
Bethany Cavender.
Bethany has been involved with Naples School for
over 20 years as both a
professional and parent. She has worn many hats
within our school, and she has worn them well.
While employed at Naples School she has held the
positions of Reading Specialist, Librarian,
Media Specialist, and now Title 1 teacher. She
has also put in many countless hours as a
volunteer and contributor to our parent
organization. In addition, she is currently
pursuing her teacher credential, and once
finished will be a heavily sought after
candidate for open teaching positions in our
district.
A common theme throughout Mrs. Cavender’s career
has been her willingness to go the extra mile
for kids. As librarian, if you ever needed a
good book suggestion you would go see Mrs.
Cavender, who would happily take the time to
help you make a great selection. Her library,
at times, has appeared to be a living jungle as
she decorated many scenes to engage the
students. If you walk into her room today you
will see a large homemade tree and a room full
of fun and splashes of colors.
In addition to academic instruction many of our
students go to Mrs. Cavender for an encouraging
word, a hug, or someone willing to listen. In
fact, some of our staff do the same. Her
compassion and caring demeanor is on display
daily.
Mrs. Cavender makes work fun for everyone with
her witty sense of humor, positive attitude,
creativity, and love for chocolate. She exhibits
a continuous concern for students and is willing
to put forth extra time and energy toward making
her school great. As a new principal I have
appreciated her candor, wisdom, and
problem-solving abilities. She is an educator
who truly wants to make a difference – and she
truly has! Naples School is a better place
because of her.
Congratulations Mrs. Cavender!
 The
district's certified employee for the month of
October 2014 is Mt. Hall's Julie Dillin.
Mrs. Dillin has been an educator for 35 years!
For the past 12 years students who have entered
Mt. Hall Elementary School have looked forward
to the day that they get Mrs. Dillin as their
teacher – and for good reason.
Mrs. Dillin continues to be an excellent role
model to her students and her school. She does
an excellent job of showing students what our
school’s character traits of respect,
responsibility, trustworthiness, caring, and
fairness look like in everyday, practical ways.
A hallmark of Mrs. Dillin’s career has been her
tried and true approach of teaching students in
a way that holds them to high standards, pushes
them to reach their goals, and makes a lasting
impact on their lives that goes beyond the walls
of our school. Through her caring and attentive
approach, students begin to understand their
potential.
Mrs. Dillin has been an outstanding employee in
our district in part because of her work ethic,
positive attitude, creativity, and focus on
students. She exhibits concern for student
well-being and is willing to put forth extra
time and energy toward making her classroom and
school great.
As a new principal at Mt. Hall, I have
personally appreciated her candor, wisdom, and
willingness to take the lead on school
initiatives. Her selfless nature and love for
kids is why she is so appreciated by parents,
staff, and students, and why she is deserving of
this award.
Congratulations Mrs. Dillin!
Congratulations also to Darcia Hummel,
the October classified employee of the month
for Boundary County School District.
Darcia can be seen running from place to place
helping students as needed. She has a desire to
make sure students are doing things correctly
and is quick to correct their mistakes while
making sure they continue to move on.
Darcia is very professional in her duties and
despite being pulled in so many directions each
day, I’ve never heard her complain. Good job
Darcia! |
