For the month of December, Darla Jacobs, of GJM Elementary was selected for the Family Matters Award! She was recognized during our School Board Meeting, where she was celebrated for her outstanding efforts. She was also awarded $100 from the Ingleside ISD Education Foundation.
Below is an excerpt from the nomination that was submitted on her behalf.
"Mrs. Jacobs takes a personal interest in her students and ensures that each one receives the attention they need to move forward. She is competent, professional, and caring. In addition, Mrs. Jacobs goes above and beyond to help our struggling readers in Corrective Reading. She cares about each one of them and does whatever is needed to make sure they get the help they need. Now she is tutoring 4 of our GJM students who are the readers who are most challenged in (K - 1st grade levels) after school. The students begged to be tutored on Fridays too, and so she stays 4 days a week to work with them to help them learn to read. The students love her and look forward to going to her each day."
We encourage you that if you witness an employee who goes above and beyond and demonstrates actions or qualities that are worthy of celebrating, to tell their story and help us recognize them! The nomination form is located on the district website at www.inglesideisd.org,under the 'About Us' section of the Menu.
Congratulations, Mrs. Jacobs! We're so happy you're a part of the Family at IISD.
