Daryl Wilson Wins District Award

Our playground assistant/crossing guard (and Skyway grandpa to four of his grandchildren) was recently awarded the Coeur d'Alene School District's Shining Star Award. In his nomination letter, Skyway staff said:

"Daryl Wilson is genuine, proactive, and an enthusiastic advocate for children.  He currently works for the Coeur d'Alene School District to honor his wife, Sue, who passed away a couple of years ago.  She worked in the cafeteria, for many years before she became ill. His passion is to continue on with her legacy. He never misses a beat while crossing student at the cross walk or interacting with them on the playground.  He is always looking out for kids and has their best interests and needs at heart. He is kind, warm, and a pleasure to work with. He leads his crew each day and his colleagues look up to him in any situation.  Students refer to him as "Grandpa Duty". Kids are excited to see him each day.  He is a problem solver and often brings solutions to admin about how to improve procedures on the playground.  He is a true gem."
