Why are you nominating this person?

Even in a busy work environment filled with challenges, Sam is always happy to lend a helping hand. What sets him apart is his dedication to his work. He is ALWAYS thinking of ways to improve the district. I have had to tell him to turn his brain off and go to bed. He is a great leader and teacher filled with knowledge. Beyond his skills, his kindness and approachability makes a real difference in our district. He’s not just a colleague; he’s a mentor and a friend who truly cares about each of us. He’s always there to share his knowledge and support. For all these reasons, Sam truly deserves our recognition because he is amazing. His passion and dedication have a lasting impact on our district and we are incredibly lucky to have him with us. He exhibits all traits and it was hard to choose just one.
