Join us in congratulating bus driver and trainer, Sandy Williams, as our first RepMO Hero winner of the year! 🎉🧡 We are thrilled she chooses to be a part of the RepMO crew, and truly appreciate the way she lights the way for students and teammates!
Watch the video below to see Superintendent, Dr. Overstreet, surprise Sandy with this recognition!
Sandy will be honored at an upcoming Board of Education meeting, and will receive $500 to be spent on the resources of her choice. She will also receive an additional paid day off.
A compilation of nominations received in regards to Sandy from district employees is below:
McCulloch Elementary nominates Sandy Williams as our September RepMO Hero nominee. Sandy goes above and beyond every single day with the students on her bus. Her infectious positivity and kindness help the students on her bus to start off their days right and end the day knowing that they are valued and cared for. It is obvious to see how much Sandy loves our Republic students and wants the best for each of them. She is a living example of the saying she has her students repeat each morning as they are getting off the bus: “Be the reason someone smiles today!”
Thanks to our sponsor, Beauty + Wellness Co, for supporting our district and providing an additional $100 for each RepMO Hero throughout the year to spend personally! #RepMOProud
