Congratulations to the December SHINE award winner, Rene Pettit, a school nurse at Simpson Middle School. Ms. Pettit was nominated by a Simpson parent who expressed gratitude to Ms. Pettit for supporting her student, who is coping with a significant health concern. The parent wrote that Nurse Pettit supports the student “every day not only physically, but emotionally as well as they cope with this new normal. She is such an encouragement. We are so grateful for Nurse Pettit and her consistent dedication, love, knowledge and support to our child and family.”
SHINE – which stands for Spotlighting Heroes in Education – is a joint LCPS and Loudoun Education Foundation initiative to recognize LCPS staff members who go above and beyond in support of LCPS students and the community. Members of the LCPS community – including other staff members, students, and parents – are invited to nominate LCPS staff who shine! SHINE award recipients receive a gift worth $500 coordinated by LEF. Learn more about SHINE, including how to nominate.
