Passionate
Why are you nominating this person?
My son attends the Blue Club after school program at NeSmith. He was playing and having fun one day and took his glasses off and we didn’t realize he didn’t have them until we got home. I messaged Mrs. Haynes and she acted swiftly by checking the library, my son’s classroom along with the gym where she knows they had been that day. She found them and I was under the impression he would have to wait until the next day to receive his glasses. He was fully upset because he is virtually blind without them. This would have made his night very difficult and sad. No watching his favorite shows or being able to see people clearly. He began to cry and get very sad. Mrs. Haynes stepped up and went above and beyond and coordinated a meet up spot for me to meet her outside of the school to retrieve his glasses. The moment we got them and he placed them on his face, his eyes lit up! He could see the world again and enjoy his night. Mrs. Haynes went above and beyond and it brought tears to my eyes.
