Park Elementary's very own Mrs. Banks was honored with Nebo School Districts PEAK (Positive Energy And Kindness) award on December 11, 2013 at the December board meeting. Mrs. Banks exemplifies the PEAK award to the highest degree. Mrs. Banks was surprised with flowers, hugs and kisses, by her family members and grandchildren that were able to attend the meeting. The following is a collage of phrases by Tamra Lybbert, Ryan Kay, Lorie Graham, and Sheralyn Lowe who nominated Mrs. Banks for this award.
“There is not a person who comes to Park Elementary that does not feel special because of this sweet lady. Ann goes out of her way giving hugs for skinned knees and missing mommy. She laughs easily and cheers up others. Ann is compassionate and a ‘doer’ for everyone. She sings happy birthday and cries when there is sadness or loss. She will buy Valentine cards and candy for little students who don't have any. Ann finds Halloween costumes and makes sure our little students will be getting Christmas.”
“On my first day meeting the new faculty, Ann had prepared a binder with my name on it. Inside the binder was a page for every employee with their photo, a hand written note about how long they have worked at Park, current and past grades taught, and their beverage of choice. One day this summer, I told Ann that I appreciated the extra time she had been putting in to make sure we were ready for a successful school year. Her reply speaks volumes about how much she cares. She said, ‘I just want you to love Park and our students as much as I do."
Park Elementary just wouldn't be the same without our cheerful, loving secretary Mrs. Banks!
