Ronnie Davisson, Human Resources Administrative Assistant, was awarded the Department Classified Employee of the Month for September/October! Ronnie was referred to an employee to notarize a document for the employee's ill parent who was living in a facility in Spirit Lake. On a Saturday, on her own time, she drove to the facility, notarized the document, and visited with the employee and his family. Ronnie went out of her way to help a staff member and his family during a difficult time. Well done, Ronnie!

Jamie Mason from Sorensen Magnet School is our Elementary Classified Employee of the Month for September/October. She was nominated for her extraordinary work and dedication as a Special Education Para-educator.

Brian Ross is our September/October Middle School Classified Employee of the Month! Brian is a beloved member of the Canfield Middle School team where he has served as Head Custodian since last spring. From day one, Brian has kept the building looking and smelling great! He goes above and beyond to make sure that each staff member is taken care of in a timely fashion. He never complains, he never seems to have a bad day, he takes pride in his work, he is super friendly, and he is an amazing human to have on staff.

Marita Durk is our High School Classified Employee of the Month for September/October. Marita works as a Title 1 Paraprofessional at Venture Academy. She is an amazing asset to the Venture Academy staff and students. The nature of her work means that she never knows what her day will look like when she arrives, but she always goes with the flow and handles each situation with care. Students love her, and she quickly builds rapport with them, even with those students who struggle the most with behaviors and discipline.

Congratulations to all of our Classified Employees of the Month!
