WHITLEY COUNTY During the Whitley County School District Board of Education meeting Monday, Superintendent John Siler announced that Vickie Reeves, cafeteria manager of Whitley Central Intermediate School, had won this month s Above and Beyond Award.
Siler said he received an email from Whitley Central Intermediate School Principal, Susan Brashear, praising Reeves and her staff. In her email, Brashear said Reeves and her staff can often be seen going above and beyond by doing things like decorating the school s cafeteria for holidays, always greeting students and asking them about their day. Students need more than just books and teachers to learn. Having nutritional needs met is a vital part of students focus and ability to learn, and having that need met by caring, smiling faces is something all schools may not have, Siler read from Brashear s email on Reeves.
If you haven’t given the subject much though, then you might want to start doing so.
Starting Wednesday, the school district will be conducting a survey for one week in order to get input on this question?
Then the school district calendar committee will meet and discuss the results, and hopefully present the board with a recommendation or recommendations at its monthly meeting in March, Director of Pupil Personnel Patrick Bowlin told the board during its monthly meeting Monday.
“There will be a link on our website (https://www.whitley.k12.ky.us/). We will also send it out by e-mail to our staff. Whenever we get those survey results back, we will share that with the calendar committee, and get some options to present to the board as far as calendars for next year,” Bowlin said.
