Staff Honored at Pinon 8th Grade Promotion

This year my wife Pamela has worked as the Dean of Students at Pinon Middle School.  She has worked tirelessly on many projects and in sponsoring several activities.  While her main job in the school was discipline she did much more than that.  She went above and beyond what was expected of her and she had a relationship with every member of the 8th grade class.

I attended the promotion for a couple of reasons.  Pamela is my wife and I want to support her.  Also, many of her students have been on my Cross Country and Wrestling teams.

The students thanked their teachers and their principal who will be the next superintendent.  On the stage there were teal roses set out for all the teachers with thank you cards.  The students thanked their families and those who had given them support.  They had something special for my wife.

The students brought out a surprise for her.  She became very emotional and went up to thank the students holding the sign and ended up being thronged about with about a hundred students hugging her and thanking her, even the "trouble makers."

In addition to the students honoring Pamela, she was also recognized by the Pinon School Board members who were in attendance.  My wife has accomplished a lot here and has made herself a part of this community.
