To know Nancy Abel is to love her. Faculty, parents and most importantly, her exceptional students sing the praises of a woman who all say is exceptional herself.   Nominations tell of a woman who puts others first, and the interest of her exceptional students are always at the top of the list. Team player, inspirational, energetic, devoted, selfless are just some of the words used to describe Nancy. The real proof is in the eyes of her students who light up when they see Nancy walk through the door.

This “people person” is a relationship builder and starts in the classroom where it matters most. Coworkers tout Nancy for going the extra mile and meeting the needs of exceptional children who require extra attention. They describe a woman who will go to any length to ensure success, whether it is getting on the floor with her students, providing transportation, a hug or a uniform.  Parents are thankful for the support she gives to their children, which allows them to participate in the Special Olympics.

Because of Nancy’s love and endless devotion, as well as her ability to inspire and guide exceptional children, she was selected as the district’s March Employee of the Month.

As Guilford County Schools’ Employee of the Month, Nancy received a $50 gift card from Sam’s Club, who has partnered with GCS to execute the employee recognition program.  Nancy’s photo will hang at the district’s central offices and at Sam’s Club on Wendover Avenue.
