CROSS COUNTRY - UPDATE - Due to the excessive rain and course conditions - the McCook Invite was canceled. The Whippets will be headed to Fillmore Central (Geneva).
She is loved by students, respected by parents, and trusted by staff. Her kindness, humility, and can-do attitude make her a perfect fit for this award. She never seeks recognition, but she absolutely deserves it. The culture she has helped shape at Minden—of teamwork, service, and joyful involvement—is stronger because of her presence.
Susan is a perfect fit for this award. She is humble, she is kind, she is a community-oriented person who everyone loves. I hope you strongly consider her for this award. It would be a meaningful way to thank someone whose impact may often go unnoticed, but whose contributions have meant everything to the students and families she so faithfully serves.
