The Jeffs’ Best Award was created by the Fairbury Public Schools Board of Education to highlight and celebrate the great work of our staff. On behalf of the Board of Education, I would like to congratulate Amy Nippert, as the recipient of the December Jeffs’ Best Award! Amy is one of the administrative assistants for Fairbury High School, and this is her nomination statement:
Amy truly is one of the many administrative assistants in our district that works amazingly hard in making sure our building runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. She is organized and is always 1 step ahead of what is needed by students and staff. Not only will she assist students, but she also is not afraid to have a firm hand with students in the office. The office is not only a place where students come when they are disciplined but a place where students know and feel they can come for anything they need. From a staff point of view, it is such a refreshing feeling to know that when you need something done, she has it done before you even have time to think about it again. Amy is truly amazing and does her best to keep this building a well-oiled machine!
She goes out of her way to help my students. My students have gone to her for help because I wasn’t in my room when they got off the bus. She did more than just give them verbal directions. She has my students to the kitchen to get their breakfast and then walked them to my classroom to make sure they make it safe and sound to my room. She even stayed there until I was back in my room.
Congratulations Amy!
