Best of the Nest

Dear wonderful CHMS Families,

As you may recall, our amazing PTO sponsors our staff appreciation award, the “Best of the Nest” with a premium parking spot for the winner! Staff members nominate each other based on:

Who has inspired you?
Who is making you a better staff member?
Who is making your day more enjoyable?
Who is doing great things for kids?
Who is consistently in your corner?
Who is implementing innovative strategies in the building?
This award continues to demonstrate the inspiring, kind, and giving staff we have here at CHMS. The incredible words that are written toward each other in response to the thoughtful actions taken are inspirational.

This month, Ms. Mandy Knicker (Health/PE) was our lucky parking spot winner! 

A few comments shared about her were:

Thank you for being the BEST lunch buddy ever! I'm so grateful that I get to hang out with you each day during lunch, and that you take the lead in the lunchroom.

I always enjoy our chats and time together!

Mandy gives solid TV recommendations. I have yet to be disappointed by one of her recommendations! She also has access to a wide variety of streaming services, so if she recommends one that you don't currently have, she's always prepared with another choice. Well done, Mandy! Also, I'm done with "The Bear," so what's your next suggestion?

Congratulations again to Ms. Knicker and all of our nominated staff members!

Dr. Levi Brown
Principal, Clarendon Hills Middle School
