Congratulations to Jill Lewis for winning the Intermediate District 287 "Above & Beyond" Award for NSO! Jill is the program coordinator at NSO and she was nominated in the Trauma-Responsive & Healing-Centered Practices category.

Jill is often the first person to discover when a family or student is struggling. She is quick to demonstrate care and help our students and families prioritize their needs in a supportive way that never sounds punitive. She helps struggling learners find a pathway to getting back in track. She knows the students, their parents, their counselors, and often other people involved in our students' lives. She is quick to communicate the information to teachers to help them support their learners as well.

Thank you for all you do for our students & families, Jill!
