Employees of the month are Agustina Sosa, East View Elementary School custodian, and Mary Smotzer, crossing guard.

Volunteers of the month are John and Gail Secor, Brokaw Early Learning Center, and Brenda Jackson, Oswego East High School.

The PRIDE program allows the Board of Education to formally recognize the efforts of teachers, employees and volunteers who are engaged in exceptional work across School District 308.

Each month, the program recognizes two individuals from three separate categories: teachers, employees and volunteers. A committee made up of various district groups and organizations selects the winners, and committee members serve six-month terms.

If you know someone deserving of the award, you can nominate him or her using the link on School District 308’s website or via mail. Details for the nomination process are also listed on the website. Any School District 308 colleague, administrator, student, parent, community member, or alumnus can make the nomination. Self-nominations are not accepted.
