Paraprofessional of the Year - Leah Windom
Leah has been a standout addition to GHS in her new role. Her infectious smile and positive energy make me eager to drop off my copies, and she remains graceful even when they're late.
Leah is incredibly helpful, kind, and genuine. We all face emergencies, yet she handles them with nothing but grace. Over the years, GHS has had remarkable women working in the copy room, and Leah upholds this legacy. Furthermore, she always seems to have a smile on her face
Leah is a kind-hearted individual, always ready to help out without expecting anything in return. She is the COPY QUEEN, consistently getting the job done ahead of time, which is invaluable for teachers and staff. She has also been supportive in the ISS room or LD whenever I need to step away briefly. In the mornings, Leah ensures that all students wear their ID badges, doing so with a smile. She is always patient with students who need a temporary sticker. Without a doubt, Leah is one of the sweetest people I know, and I truly enjoy working with her.
Leah's diligence and attention to detail have been tremendously beneficial this year in the copy room. She consistently goes the extra mile, identifying countless typos and errors in my originals and remaining flexible when we need quick assistance in urgent situations.
Leah is an outstanding educational partner, always willing to help. She is kind and fiercely dedicated. She is simply AMAZING. Mrs. Windom is not only pleasant and enjoyable to communicate with, which is a blessing given our limited interaction time these days, but she also volunteers to start tasks right away without being asked. She proactively reaches out if she notices any issues. She has genuinely enhanced my experience this year—as well as that of all other teachers—fulfilling the true role of a para!
