Jersey Community Unit School District 100 has announced that three of the district’s educators have been chosen by the Illinois State Board of Education as recipients of “Those Who Excel Awards.”
Becca Leslie, JCHS Librarian, received the Award of Meritorious Service.
The Award for Meritorious Service is presented to educators who have gone above and beyond in their dedicated service to the school community.
“They are experienced educators who take on leadership opportunities and whose accomplishments uplift the culture of learning in their school. They stand as exemplars of their profession and have become integral members of their schools and districts,” Jersey CUSD 100 said in the announcement.
Stacey Kuebrich, West Elementary Early Childhood SPE Teacher, and Andrea Lamer, JCHS Spanish Teacher, each received the Special Recognition Award.
“Educators who receive the Award of Special Recognition are valued members of their school community who have been recognized by their colleagues, students, families, and administrators for the skills, passions, and talents they bring to their school community,” the announcement said.
Leslie, Kuebrich and Lamer will be recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education at the Those Who Excel Banquet in May.
