Today marks the official launch of our Greene Game Changers awards! Each month moving forward, weโll be shining a spotlight on the standout stars who go above and beyond, bring positive energy, and truly move the needle for our team.
Please join us in celebrating our very first September 2026 honorees:
๐ Bonnye Bazan
Nominated by: Sheila OโConnor
Why they changed the game:
โBonnye is a well-known, and well-loved member of our team. The children all know her, and they love her. She puts smiles on their faces every day. She is willing to help any teacher at any time. She goes out of her way to help students and staff members. She's always one of the first to volunteer to help with events. She's always willing to give of herself.โ
๐ Shelbe Furman
Nominated by: Sarah Jensen
Why they changed the game:
"Shelbe is, quite simply, a rockstar in the middle school. She is the kind of person who doesnโt just show up, she shows up BIG. She leads the 7th grade team, co-advises Yearbook, co-advises Student Council with me, and somehow still finds the time and energy to take on countless other responsibilities. She is always willing to jump in, lend a hand, and make things better for both students and staff.
One of the things that makes Shelbe such a game changer is the way she brings real world learning into her FACS classroom. She invites professionals from the world of finance to work with her students on personal finance, banking, checkbooks, and the kinds of skills they will genuinely need as they grow up. Additionally, she invites nutritionists from Cornell and other places to teach students about making healthy choices. But she doesnโt stop there. Shelbe goes above and beyond to teach her students important life skills like sewing, cooking, baking, and so much more."
Congratulations and thank you for all you do for our students, school, and community! ๐ ๐
