Citizen Spotlights JARRELL ISD

At the beginning of every school board meeting, Jarrell ISD celebrates teachers and students from each campus who displayed exemplary attitude and effort that month. In January, a new award was introduced that recognizes an individual or group within the community who is working hard to make a positive difference in the lives of those around them. JISD Director of Communications Nick Spinetto says, "Our teachers and staff don't do it alone. They have support from their colleagues, parents, community members, volunteers, local businesses, and organizations. At Jarrell ISD we are one community. It takes a village to educate and raise a child. As we started the new calendar year, we knew recognizing a person or organization who makes a difference for our students and staff was another way to say thank you."

The first Citizen of the Month award honored Susan Gregurek from the Jarrell Community Library and Resource Center, followed by all PTOs for Jarrell schools in February, and the Jarrell Education Foundation in March.
