Excited to announce our Middle School Classified Employee of the month is Lisa Rakes, Library Manager at Lakes Middle School.

From her nomination form:

Nomination #1: There are so many things that make Lisa great! She has such a drive and passion for reading and she imparts that on Lakes students. She goes out of her way to support some of students outside of school at Children Canopy and she is always checking in on the staff in the building. She helps out with staff morale. We recently had a staff member that was going through a tough time and she helped collect donations for that teacher to help offset some life costs. Lisa is a phenomenal coworker and I hope to be like her one day!!

Nomination #2: Lisa is humble and kind. The amount of extracurricular activities she puts on for our students is amazing! She is hosting the B.O.B. competition for the district here at Lakes. She tutors after school at the Children's Village. She puts on Spelling Bees and book give-a-ways. She comes in early for the students that are in the Pokémon club, that way they have a place to meet. She 100% believes in the students and absolutely loves what she does, and it shows.

Congratulations Lisa!
