Congratulations, Tyler Hahn, Technology Specialist for USD 265, for receiving the District Attitude Award! His nominator wrote, "Tyler has the best attitude of anyone I know. He is one of those people who doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. He answers all tech questions and issues with the utmost patience and politeness. He is nonjudgmental, and he makes you feel you can ask anything. He is also very quick to respond to questions and issues. Goddard is so lucky to have him. He makes my job easier, and I am so blessed to have him as our tech guy.”
Congratulations Hannah Gabel, Music Teacher at Clark Davidson Elementary School, for receiving the District Attitude Award! Her nominator wrote, "I am writing to nominate Hannah Gabel for a District Attitude Award because she perfectly demonstrates the ways teachers selflessly give to their students on a daily basis. Her enthusiasm for sharing her love of music with elementary students is perhaps most evident through her commitment to Lyrical Lions- CDS’ student choir.
A trained violinist, Miss Gabel accepted the challenge to work with students on vocal instruction after school each and every week to prepare for two programs this year. She approached kids week after week with optimism and encouragement. She created a harmonious atmosphere where everyone felt included and supported- and she did this on her own time, as a volunteer. There were countless hours put into preparing and planning outside the classroom as well.
I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact Miss Gabel’s kind and understanding nature has on the children she gives her time to. She is incredibly deserving of a District Attitude Award. Thank you for considering her for this honor.”
