Bayless Awards: The Best of Bayless

Christina Ernst, Staff Person of the Year

“Tina has been on our custodial staff for just over five years now. She started out as a part-time evening custodian, and is now a fulltime evening custodian. It’s not always an easy task, but Tina has strong attention to detail. She is not afraid to get dirty and is always willing to do whatever is asked. She is a key person for to go to in times of need. It’s no wonder to me that she was nominated, then won Staff Person of the Year! Go Tina!”

-Bob Reeves, Custodial Supervisor

“As a graduate of Bayless (Class of 2015), Sam Hoegemann is a Broncho through and through! She is a kind-hearted, dedicated, teacher who works tirelessly to meet her students’ needs. Sam’s drive to provide engaging, meaningful lessons and build supportive relationships with students is clear daily. As our Elementary Special Olympics Coach, Sam has ensured students have opportunities outside of Bayless as well. Sam has quickly become a vital member of our team, and we could not be happier to have her on the Bayless Special Education Team.”

-Maureen Neslon, Director of Special Education

“Kristen has always been a Broncho. She graduated from Bayless High School in 2002. She has worked as a substitute for the past 11 years, while also being the president of the Bayless Educational Support team (BEST) and a part of Cub Scout Pack 66 and Boy Scout Troop 66. Her commitment to Bayless helps all of us, and it’s great to see her win the Broncho Award.”

-Aaron Kohler, Bayless Elementary Principal

“As President of the Music Boosters, Laurie continually raises the bar for what we are able to accomplish and we are so thankful she is part of it. Her willingness to lend a hand and help out does not go unnoticed. From volunteering her time at meetings, competitions, concerts, trips, and fundraisers, Laurie is always smiling and happy to help.”

-Stephen Elford, Jeff Martini, and Tamara Simmons, Music Directors
