She does so much! Congratulations to Carson High Schoolâs Lavon Sollberger on being awarded Certified Employee of the Year. Lavon, an Administrative Specialist, upon the receiving of her award said âI have no need for a web cam or microphone on my computer; at a recent virtual staff meeting, my speakers experienced a case of the hiccups, and I lost the sound, so off to a co-workerâs office I went observing social distancing rules and sitting on the far side of the office just to listen to the staff meeting.â Lavon continued, âSince working at CHS, my vote for classified staff of the year has always been spot on, so when Principal Chambers announced my name, and not the person I had voted for, I was totally surprised, and my first thought was bummer, my winning voting streak was over, but wow, what a way to lose and win at the same time.â After being awarded CHS Certified Employee of the Year, Lavon was asked by Chambers whether or not she would like to say something. âWell, those who know me,â Lavon says about herself, âknow I am far from ever speechless.â However, Lavon went on to say, âWith a mask on, and from across the room, and with my coworker pointing the laptop in my direction, it was a bit difficult; to my equally deserving and exceptional colleagues at CHS, I say thank you and am truly grateful to receive this recognition; it is a great honor and a cherry on top of what is already a pretty awesome sundae.â Lavon added, âI have the privilege of working with students, staff and families not only at the high school, but with other district locations.â Her primary job is dealing with all things Infinite Campus, the CHS student information platform, helping create the course schedule for nearly 2400 students, over 100 teachers with so many courses, assisting families in completing their online updates so information is current, and setting up access for parents and guardians to monitor student progress. This is just the beginning, and Lavon could not love it more. âIt can be a little chaotic and crazy at times making me feel my age, all while being surrounded by the youth and energy of CHS.â Prior to working at CHS, Sollberger worked at Fritsch Elementary, loving the glitter of kindergarten in the front office. She said, âMy two sons had graduated from CHS and gave me âpermissionâ to work at CHS, so I was fortunate to begin working as the Senior Project Coordinator and Library Assistant before accepting my current position as Administrative Office Specialist.â Sollberger said, âThis has been a year turned upside down,â and she added, âDo not let my husband or boys know that they are not the sole contributors to the growing amount of grey hair appearing on my head.â Lavon wants to make sure everyone knows how much she loves being a part of CHS. âOutweighing any craziness, there is great joy in sharing in the celebrations of success both small and large, and I am looking forward to the next few years working at a job I love, the job I look forward to each day with such a fantastic community.â Lavon Sollberger may not realize it, but she is one of the linchpins which holds Carson High School together. Without her, well, we do not want to think about that.
