HEART CHAMPION: CHRISTINA JACKSON, SCHOOL SECRETARY LINCOLN-WEST SCHOOL OF GLOBAL STUDIES

NOMINATED BY: CAROLYN KHOURI, ENGLISH TEACHER

Mrs. Jackson makes sure that all visitors, parents, staff and scholars feel welcome when they come into the school office. On one specific occasion I witnessed the compassionate way Mrs. Jackson interacted with a scholar who struggles with staying in class all day and frequently finds his way to the office. Mrs. Jackson warmly greeted the scholar, carefully listened to his concerns before re-assuring him and encouraging him to return to class to prepare to learn. Mrs. Jackson makes all of our scholars feel safe and secure during their school day. She is a strong, determined consistent profession a I an ideal candidate to receive a Heart Award.
