Kathleen Emmert, School District of Washington Social Worker/BASE Counselor, is the March recipient of the Blue Jay Pride Award.
The Blue Jay Pride Award was introduced to recognize and showcase quality School District of Washington staff and the focus on the District’s core beliefs. Through peer nomination, individuals are able to acknowledge exceptional staff who positively impact the schools, district and community.
The individual who is recognized each month will be presented with a traveling plaque and a gift gift bag.
Emmert’s nomination form stated the following:
“I constantly see Kathleen rushing to and from the multiple school campuses she serves. I see her greeting students and meeting with them in her office, which she has set up as such a calm and tranquil space. She is a key part in the well-being of our students. She is able to use her expertise and care to help comfort and guide our most vulnerable students in their most vulnerable moments. She has even taken time to speak positive words into my life. Our high school, and our district in general, is extremely lucky to have her.”
Emmert was presented the Blue Jay Pride Award traveling plaque by SDOW Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Kephart. She also received a gift bag from the Bank of Franklin County, represented by Becky Buhr.
