Adaptive Physical Education Teacher Selected as
March Employee of the Month
Steve Drewery, a representative from Sam’s Club, was
on-hand to surprise Nancy with a $50 gift card to Sam’s Club.
Don’t try to keep up with adaptive physical education teacher Nancy Abel – it’s nearly impossible. She’s always on the go, traveling to 15 schools a week and going to whatever level needed to meet the needs of her students. She may be on a scooter at Jamestown Middle, on the floor at Oak Hill Elementary or working with exceptional students in a pool. She does whatever it takes not only to meet the needs of her students, but also to provide new opportunities to them, like taking part in the Special Olympics. |
To know Nancy is to love her. Faculty, parents and most importantly, her exceptional students all 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 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 exceptional children 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.
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. She was also recognized at the March 4 Board of Education meeting. Watch for the Employee of the Month on GCSTV2!
