Congratulations to both of these incredible ladies. Your dedication and hard work are appreciated.
The New Carlisle Rotary Club was proud to host our Fifth Annual Outstanding Support Staff Employee of the Year Awards. 🎉🏆
For many years, Rotary has recognized outstanding teachers in our community. However, we know that behind every successful school is an incredible team of support staff whose dedication makes learning possible every single day. From secretaries and custodians to bus drivers, food service workers, paraprofessionals, and more 🙂 These individuals are the backbone of our schools.
This year, we were honored to recognize two exceptional recipients.
Mrs. Lana Fitzsimmons, Secretary at Northwestern Elementary School, was celebrated for being the heartbeat of her school. Her reliability, flexibility, professionalism, and tireless commitment to supporting staff, students, and families make her an invaluable part of the Northwestern community.
Mrs. Brenda Wright, Head Custodian at Tecumseh Middle School, was recognized for her unmatched work ethic, leadership, and contagious positivity. With decades of service, Brenda’s energy, pride in her work, and willingness to go above and beyond ensure Tecumseh Middle School remains a safe, welcoming place for students and staff alike.
These two women exemplify excellence, teamwork, and service. We are grateful for their dedication and proud to honor them as this year’s Outstanding Support Staff Employees of the Year.
Congratulations, Lana and Brenda and thank you for all you do for our school communities. 💙
