Kathy Schirm wins Community Service Award

WAITSBURG-Waitsburg paraprofessional Kathy Schirm was presented with the Southeast Washington Association of School Administrators Community Service Award in a ceremony before staff on May 22. The award exemplifies a commitment for going above and beyond and is given to only a select group of individuals, according to District Superintendent Jon Mishra.

"Mere words cannot convey what you mean to the Waitsburg School District. From being on campus early to meet-and-greet students, to working in the art program, to providing one-on-one tutoring, to lending a ear and a hug to students (and staff) who need them. The list goes on and on. I cannot think of a more deserving person for this award than Kathy. To our Energizer Bunny with the biggest of hearts," said Mishra as he presented the award.
