For the month of March, Alvin Moore, of Leon Taylor Middle School was selected for the Family Matters Award! He was recognized during our School Board Meeting, where he was celebrated for his outstanding efforts. He was also awarded $100 from the Ingleside ISD Education Foundation. Below is an excerpt from the nomination that was submitted on his behalf. "Mr. Alvin Moore is one of the custodians who takes care of the new Leon Taylor Middle School, but for many years he maintained and kept up the Blaschke Sheldon Elementary campus. Mr. Moore works in the early hours to make sure that the building that the students and staff walk into is beautiful and well maintained. He goes above and beyond routinely with extra duties ensuring the safety of our students and staff is a priority. Any special project like moving furniture, finding resources or tools, or general tasks almost always comes to him, and he accepts and takes care of them with an attitude we should all emulate. Nothing is too big, and nothing is too small for him. Furthermore, Alvin's interactions with students are always positive, and students look to him, and speak of him favorably. Alvin is the son of Alvin Moore senior, the namesake of both a street and water facility in Ingleside. Alvin and his family have dedicated their careers to service in a community that they love and hold dear, with few people embodying the motto "come be part of the family" as much as he has. " We encourage you that if you witness an employee who goes above and beyond and demonstrates actions or qualities that are worthy of celebrating, to tell their story and help us recognize them! The nomination form is located on the district website at www.inglesideisd.org ,under the 'About Us' section of the Menu. Congratulations, Alvin! We're so happy you're a part of the Family at IISD.

Whether they modeled or were on design teams, big shout out to all of our students who embodied the spirit of innovation and sustainability!

For the month of February, Kimberly Williams, of GJM Elementary was selected for the Family Matters Award! She was recognized during our School Board Meeting, where she was celebrated for her outstanding efforts. She was also awarded $100 from the Ingleside ISD Education Foundation. Below is an excerpt from the nomination that was submitted on her behalf. "Our son Elijah is in 5th grade at GJM and was born with multiple heart conditions. About a month ago we had a small scare, and Elijah was not feeling very well after PE and recess. The first thing nurse Williams did was take his blood pressure and it was indeed elevated. Elijah came home and was able to calm down and allow his levels to regulate, but ever since that day nurse Williams goes out of her way not just once, but twice a day to check Elijah‘s vitals. She then sends them to me so we can keep a log to report back to his cardiologist. She is such a great asset to GJM and I hope all of Ingleside ISD realizes the blessing we have in her. The extra care she shows in these situations makes it so much easier as parents to know that daily our child is being cared for at school just as he is at home! She has also taken on the load of being the PTO president and has helped facilitate the school to have so much fun. She does pickle and popcorn days, she attends little league games and watches some of the students from GJM. She, with the help of others, orchestrated the fall festival earlier in the school year and it was a huge success. She embodies what it means to be a recipient of the Family Matters Award." We encourage you that if you witness an employee who goes above and beyond and demonstrates actions or qualities that are worthy of celebrating, to tell their story and help us recognize them! The nomination form is located on the district website at www.inglesideisd.org ,under the 'About Us' section of the Menu. Congratulations, Nurse Williams! We're so happy you're a part of the Family at IISD.
