Description:

Kudos to: Deshonte Lomax
Reported by: Jenn Davis
Reason: For your high kicks, killer dance moves, amazing voice, and enthusiasm during whole groups. I appreciate your willingness to help our students and class by creating slides, song lists, and visual supports. Thank you for all you do!

Kudos to: SaMara Evans

Reported by: Jenn Davis
Reason: Thank you isn't enough to express my appreciation for you! Each day without fail, you support our students and classroom. I appreciate your attitude of " I can" and "I'll try something new". Thank you for continuing to cheer on our group when things get hard. And thank you for being the class octopus as you juggle visual supports, iPads, token boards, and props! Let's not forget about our foot bumps, our day would not be complete without them!

Kudos to: Sara Mansfield
Reported by: Jenn Davis
Reason: I'm so incredibly grateful for your attention to our class and students. I appreciate your individualized support to our class of diverse communicators. I am in awe of your knowledge and am always learning from you. Thank you for working non stop to meet the needs of our students, family, and staff. We couldn't do the work we do without your guidance. :)

Kudos to: Tristen Smith
Reported by: Jenn Davis
Reason: Tristen I would be so lost without you!! Thank you for bringing your expertise to our class. I will never turn away an idea, suggestion or consultation that you bring to our class. You make us better everyday and I'm incredibly grateful to you! And thank you for your compassion that you bring to our families, students, our team, and me. Your words of encouragement keep us all going, even when things are so very challenging :)

Kudos to: Superintendent Scurto
Reported by: Annie Whiddon
Reason: I have had the opportunity to attend the ESD and 4J School Board meetings in February. Superintendent Scurto's collaborative leadership and his ability to be a supportive partner to our consortium districts was discussed by both of these school boards, and as an employee of Lane ESD I couldn't have been more proud. Thank you for keep safety and equity at the forefront for staff and students in Lane county.

Kudos to: Julie Simmonds
Reported by: Annie Whiddon
Reason: Julie is just rad. I can't even believe the work she puts into making the Lane ESD School Board meetings run smoothly. In
the best of times her record keeping and preparation are amazing, and in COVID times she's managing Zoom meetings! That was a lot of muting and unmuting, and I don't even know how many times she had to call the vote. Nice work, Julie!

Kudos to: Elena W.
Reported by: Tristen Smith
Reason: Shout out to Elena! This is my full second year working with her directly and I am just in awe of her grace, professionalism and love for the students she supports. She goes above and beyond the call of duty and puts in so much more to make sure the students she supports receive what they need! We have collaborated, cried, had meetings, brainstormed and problem solved too many times to count. I could not have done this year without her!

Kudos to: Lisa Baber
Reported by: David Lanza
Reason: Thanks for 20+ years of ESD service and the many years of public service you put in. Your retirement is well deserved!

Kudos to: Brad Johnston
Reported by: Sharon England
Reason: Brad went above and beyond to get my new cubicle to be ergonomically correct for me. I love my new spot and set up! I really appreciate all Brad does!

Kudos to: Carlos Sequeira
Reported by: Sharon England
Reason: I appreciate all that Carlos has done to make the new SI suite beautiful for our team with the new cubicles and showing support to me to get my area set up to be ergonomically correct for me. I love my new spot!

Kudos to: Niels Pastermak
Reported by: Pamela Hatlen
Reason: For always helping the staff and students if we had a problem or just a question he is always ready to listen and takes time for us. Zoom working is different for all of us, but Niels makes us feel comfortable and has great ideas for us to teach. Thanks Niels your great. Pam
