“Service is fueled by strength and a steadfast commitment to protect.” - Unknown
Congratulations to Officers Lamar, Malcom & Pulver (USD 265 Police Officers) for receiving the District Attitude Award from the USD 265 Board of Education! These officers were nominated by Sabrina Watkins, EmberHope Educator, who shared the following, “The officers have been coming out to Ember Hope for the past few weeks. They have had a huge impact on the students out here; they have created positive relationships with students who had a severe hatred of law enforcement officers. Some of the students now ask when the officers are coming out, and ask for them when they want to talk about problems they are having. They play games with the students, help them with their work, and overall provide a sense of belonging to the students. These officers have had a profound impact on a few of the students, so much so they genuinely look forward to dealing with the police now instead of being filled with fear and disdain.”

Congratulations to Kelci Mohr (3rd Grade Teacher, Amelia Earhart Elementary School) for receiving the District Attitude Award from the USD 265 Board of Education! Mohr was nominated by Angela Webster, Special Education Teacher at Earhart , who shared the following, “Kelci Mohr’s 3rd-grade classroom, The Seastars, is a shining example of creativity, connection, and compassion. Her students start their mornings learning Spanish through Duolingo so they can better communicate with their ELL friends - just one of the many ways Kelci fosters inclusivity and belonging. This month, her class is eagerly preparing for their fall feast, a potluck paired with their recent novel study. Kelci’s passion for hands-on experiences extends beyond the classroom: she was part of the National Cohort for Social Studies Educators and received a CUA grant in 2024 to launch her after-school cooking club. Kelci goes above and beyond to stay connected with her students and families, hosting summer fishing days and sharing updates about her family’s turtle rescue and rehabilitation project. Kelci embodies everything the Attitude Award stands for. Kelci is one of the most hands-on, out-of-the-box educators I’ve ever had the honor of working with. She is a safe place for her students - past and present - and the first to offer a warm meal, a kind word, or a hug to a colleague in need. Her attitude radiates warmth, creativity, and heart in everything she does.”

Congratulations to Fred “MJ” Jenkins (Building Engineer, Discovery Intermediate School) for receiving the District Attitude Award from the USD 265 Board of Education! Jenkins was nominated by Alexa Heim, 5th Grade Teacher at Discovery, who shared the following, “MJ is such a breath of fresh air in our building. He has consistently gone above and beyond within our building to keep it a clean and safe environment for all staff and students. He has taken such good care of us as a staff, always checking in to see if he can get us anything or do anything for us. We appreciate that he takes the extra time to ask us how our day went and encourages us to relax at the end of our day.
One of my favorite things about MJ is that he also takes the time to interact with our students. He has a good rapport with our students and was seen engaging in ‘aura farming.’ The kids thought this was the coolest thing ever. It brought so much laughter and joy to our fifth grade students.
At the end of a busy school day, it is an absolute joy to see MJ offering a smile and a helping hand. I believe he is more than deserving of this award because of his infectious positive attitude and his willingness to step in and help anyone. I speak for multiple teachers in the building when I say he is truly an amazing building engineer. We appreciate him more than he knows and believe he should be recognized for the great work he does each and every day. We are so very lucky to have MJ in our building!”
