Southwest's Stacy Jones is March Laker Champion for Kids

Stacy Jones has been named the Laker Champion for Kids for the month of March. Jones works as an instructional assistant and the site technology coordinator at Southwest Calloway Elementary School.  The Laker Champion for Kids is awarded each month to a Laker staff member who goes above and beyond for students and colleagues.

"She loves working with the students and is often seen talking with them as she makes her rounds in the cafeteria," said Southwest principal Mark Mallory. "She is dedicated to the students and staff here at Southwest."

"When not helping in the library, she is either in the cafeteria as the lunch monitor or helping teachers out with any tech issues as the STC for the building. She also teaches a programming class to our fourth and fifth graders on Fridays. On top of all that, she also works with students throughout the day doing social lessons. She is a dependable, hard worker. Always willing to help, if she doesn't have the right fix, she makes sure she finds someone that can help."

Jones was nominated by Southwest teacher Mallory Bybee.

"She wears many hats in our building," wrote Bybee. "In any given day you can find her checking out books, cleaning lunch tables, fixing technology problems, and more. She has a great rapport with her students and is a wonderful asset to our staff. She is a great choice for the Laker Champion for Kids."
