Classified Golden Achievement Award: Mrs. Holly Johnson
In her first year at Waresboro Elementary, Mrs. Holly Johnson has quickly become a valued member of the school family. Her willingness to serve wherever needed, positive attitude, and commitment to students have made a lasting impression on her colleagues and school leadership.
In the nomination letter, Waresboro Elementary's principal shared the following remarks:
Holly Johnson serves as a Special Education Paraprofessional at Waresboro Elementary, and this is her first year at Waresboro. Holly has been an absolute joy to work with and consistently demonstrates the dedication, compassion, and positive attitude that make a difference in the lives of our students and staff.
Holly approaches every part of her job with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to serve others. Whether she is assisting students in the classroom, working with small groups, supporting teachers and grade levels, helping during lunch duty, or keeping things moving in the car rider line, she brings the same level of energy and commitment to everything she does. She understands that every interaction matters and that even the smallest acts of kindness and encouragement can make a big difference in a child's day.
What stands out most about Holly is her willingness to jump in wherever she is needed and her ability to make those around her feel supported. She builds positive relationships with students, works well alongside teachers, and brings a smile and a sense of joy to the many responsibilities she takes on each day. Her commitment goes beyond simply completing her assigned duties; she truly cares about the students she serves and wants to see them succeed.
In addition to giving her time and energy to Waresboro Elementary each day, Holly is also working toward earning her teaching degree. Her decision to continue her education while working full time speaks volumes about her dedication to personal growth and her passion for education. We are excited to watch her continue to grow professionally and look forward to seeing all that she will accomplish in the years ahead.
Holly is a wonderful example of what it means to be an Eagle. Her positive attitude, strong work ethic, and heart for serving children make her a valuable part of the Waresboro family. We are fortunate to have her on our team, and she is certainly deserving of this recognition. Congratulations, Mrs. Johnson!
Certified Golden Achievement Award: Mrs. Christy Flowers
For many years, Mrs. Christy Flowers has helped Waresboro Elementary's youngest students take their first important steps in their educational journeys. Her compassion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to her kindergarten students have made her an integral part of the school community.
In the nomination letter, Waresboro Elementary's principal shared the following remarks:
Christy Flowers has been a kindergarten teacher at Waresboro Elementary for many years and has truly become a special part of what makes our school the place it is today. Kindergarten is a unique and demanding grade level that requires a special combination of patience, compassion, energy, flexibility, and a genuine love for children. Mrs. Flowers possesses all of these qualities and brings them into her classroom each and every day.
Anyone who has spent time around Mrs. Flowers knows that she has a heart of gold and gives everything she has to her students. She understands that kindergarten is about so much more than learning letters, numbers, and basic skills. It is about building confidence, establishing routines, developing relationships, and helping young children learn how to navigate the world of school. She works hard to make sure her students feel loved, supported, safe, and ready to learn. She recognizes that every child is different and that each one needs someone willing to meet them where they are.
Mrs. Flowers puts her whole heart into her classroom and is never afraid to go the extra mile for her students. Kindergarten can certainly bring some unpredictable days, and if you know Mrs. Flowers, you know that some days she may even resemble the famous Jim Cantore! She handles the excitement, unexpected surprises, and occasional kindergarten storms with a level of dedication and determination that only someone with a true passion for teaching can bring.
Waresboro Elementary is fortunate to have someone like Christy Flowers. Her love for children, dedication to her profession, and the heart she puts into her work are qualities that cannot be taught. She is a wonderful representation of what it means to be an educator and an Eagle. We are grateful for all she does and are proud to nominate her for the Golden Achievement Award. Congratulations, Mrs. Flowers!
