Employee of the Month (September 2008)

GCS Announces Teacher Assistant as September Employee of the Month

At first glance, you might overlook Wanda Rose working with Frazier Elementary’s third and fourth graders. Despite her calm demeanor and quiet voice, teachers know they can count on Rose to do whatever it takes when help is needed. 

According to the nomination made on her behalf, Rose is “a shining example of an employee.  Anyone who knows her will state that she is a team player who will do anything to make a school a better place.” Principal Laverne Bass cited Rose’s positive attitude as one of the teacher assistant’s best qualities. For her subtle but persistent dedication to the students and teachers at Frazier, Rose was named the district’s September Employee of the Month.   

As Employee of the Month, Rose received a $50 gift card from Sam’s Club, which has partnered with Guilford County Schools to support the employee recognition program.
