The “magic” of USD 265 doesn’t just happen in one place, it happens in our classrooms, hallways, kitchens, and on our buses. The Goddard Education Foundation, alongside our Legacy Partners at Lange Real Estate, was thrilled to present the Award to 15 outstanding staff members who embody the spirit of our District and lead with heart every single day.

Today, we are proud to recognize our winner from Challenger Intermediate: Megan Alexander

"She helped me when I was removed from my family and taken into foster care for 2 days, she helped me heal those wounds and feel comfortable with myself. She tried to make every kids life better even if it hurt her soul to do so. She deserves recognition for truly being an angel.
- Former Student

This celebration is made possible by Lange Real Estate. Their commitment to recognizing the vital role our staff plays in creating a thriving learning environment ensures our Heroes feel seen and valued.
In USD 265 we don’t just work together, we lift each other up. Congratulations Mrs. Alexander for proving that we truly are !
