Kudos to Michael Duke, January Classified Employee of the Month. Michael is the Head Custodian at Bickel Elementary Michael is originally from Hansen Idaho and he likes to spend time with his wife outdoors, hiking, fishing, and riding ATVs. He says that he didn’t choose his career it chose him and his best day on the job is any day nothing goes wrong. He is described as responsible and he would like to be remembered as a hardworking and nice person. Someday he would like to visit an ancient archaeological site. One thing people do not know about him is that he has a master’s degree in information security and graduated with honors! Principal Note: Mr. Duke, our dedicated custodian, plays an essential role in keeping our school running smoothly and efficiently. A hard worker with an eagerness to learn and grow, he consistently seeks opportunities to improve and master his craft. His commitment to following through on projects is unmatched, and his attention to detail shows in everything he does. Always ready to lend a hand, Mr. Duke goes about and beyond to help with any task, making our school a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming place for everyone.

Congratulations Kyle Tredway, January Classified Employee of the Month! Kyle works security at Pillar Falls Elementary. Kyle is originally from Laguna Beach California. Being a security guard was his calling and he was made to be a protector. His best day on the job is every day because he loves what he does and loves coming to work. He draws inspiration from his faith, is loyal, and would like to be remembered as a God-fearing man willing to lay his life down for others. He loves to cycle and would like to travel to Italy someday. One thing people don’t know about him is that he went to school for massage therapy. Principal Note: Kyle has been a wonderful addition to our staff! He is friendly and greets everyone with a smile. We love having him in our school!

Compliments to Jenny Shaw, Certified Employee of the Month for January! Jenny is a counselor at Pillar Falls Elementary. Jenny’s hometown is Buhl and she likes reading, crocheting, playing online games, and going for drives in nature. She would someday like to travel as much as she can. Few people know that when she was in high school he was an exchange student in the Netherlands. She decided to be a counselor because she wants kids to have a safe person to talk to about anything! She draws her inspiration from knowing that even kiddos need someone to confide in safely and her pet peeve is when adults do not give kids a chance to have their say. She wants to be remembered as a kind person who is accepting of everyone. Her best day on the job is when she can see a student advocate for themselves by respectfully and calmly telling others what they need. Principal Note: Jenny is an amazing counselor and I don’t know what we would do without her! She is kind, caring, and always willing to help anyone in need. Our students trust her and feel comfortable going to her with their problems. She jumps into help whenever she can and she makes our school a better place. We adore her and feel so lucky to have her on our staff!
