Our next nominee for the Support Staff of the Year Award is Owen Johnson from Fort Atkinson High School!

What does the team have to say? 📣

"Day in and day out, I can count on Owen in all things, in all ways, for all asks and event planning. I think if anyone spent a day in Owen's shoes, it would be shocking to see what he is able to accomplish and all he gives to make sure our large system is running smoothly. Owen pays a high amount of focus on the details, which is what makes him so successful. With the endless amount of events that run at the high school, let alone run a typical school day, Owen is not afraid to ask the questions and attend any necessary meetings to make sure that everyone is well aware of what is needed for each event request."

Congratulations, Owen! 👏

Our next nominee for the Support Staff of the Year Award is Lacy Edwards from Fort Atkinson Middle School!

What does the team have to say? 📣

"To say Lacy is an integral part at FAMS is an understatement. She literally helps students and staff alike begin and end their days with the items and support they need. While no day is perfect and some bring stress (and an eye roll or two) Ms. Edwards does all of the things with a smile, a humorous attitude and truly because she believes in our students and wants them to have the resources they need. She is a great trouble-shooting resource, a sounding board for curriculum ideas and an "event space" director and always an ear and friend when needed."

Congratulations, Lacy! 👏
