Employee of the Month (February 2009)

Sam's Club Recognizes Nancy Hines as Employee of the Month

Once a month, Nancy Hines painstakingly decorates the Washington Montessori media center to honor students and parents recognized at the school’s Student of the Month Breakfast. It seems only fitting that this youth development coordinator, who dedicates so much energy, heart and charisma to honoring the achievements of students, is the recipient of an award honoring the same outstanding qualities of employees.

According to Principal Sharon Jacobs, Guilford County Schools (GCS) has a true jewel in Hines: “She likes to work behind the scenes and is extremely humble. She inspires many and supports everyone; she gives selflessly, fills in where needed and greets everyone with that special smile and welcoming hug. She is a true servant-leader who loves all, cares for all and works well with all to get the job done. We are so very proud to have her as a part of this family.”

Whether she’s coordinating Parent Teacher Association events, scheduling staff development, working with students after hours or simply being a friend to all, Hines represents excellence in education. GCS and Sam’s Club representatives surprised her during a full student assembly with Employee of the Month honors.
