Lisa Huempfner, School Board Clerk, received the WASB Leadership and Board Development Award.

In her new role as an interventionist this year, Stephanie has approached every challenge with positivity and enthusiasm. She has jumped right in—initiating, learning, and growing every day—all while keeping students at the heart of her work. We’re grateful for her dedication and the energy she brings to our team!

Sara Pratt

Sara has gone above and beyond to kick off the school year with energy, empathy, and excellence. Embracing change with a positive mindset, she has not only adapted quickly but has also become a steady source of support for both students and colleagues. Whether it's designing engaging lessons or offering a helping hand to fellow staff, Sara’s leadership, encouragement, and commitment to growth have set the tone for a strong and collaborative start to the year.

Sarah Higgins

Sarah helped out tremendously setting up and taking down for our Whippet Welcome Day. We could not have done it without the great help she offered us that day.

For many years, Heather and Matt Reu have devoted countless hours of support to Washington School through our Washington PATT (Parents and Teachers Together). With Heather as our president and Matt always willing to lend a hand, their volunteerism goes above and beyond, serves as a model for others, and has had a significant impact on students and staff.

Whether their support and leadership have resulted in significant funds raised through fundraisers for student opportunities, or their hours of in-person assistance have contributed to our many activities, big impact events such as Walk-4-Washington, Family Fall Fest, and Family Art Night have become mainstays for our school community.

Whenever you find a high-level school culture, high-level parent organizations are typically part of that culture. Thanks to Heather and Matt, they have ensured that our PATT has a major impact on our school culture.

Kathy is nothing short of amazing! She has been a dedicated volunteer at Lincoln for many years—even long after her grandkids have graduated! If something needs to be done, Kathy is on it. She's here nearly every day, lending a helping hand wherever it's needed—organizing thousands of book titles in our book room, keeping our FTP room tidy and stocked, sorting mail in the office, and so much more.

Her kindness, dependability, and genuine care for our staff and school community are truly unmatched. Kathy gives so generously of her time, and it shows in everything she does. We are beyond grateful for her continued support and the positive spirit she brings to Lincoln each and every day!

Kathy is truly a Lincoln treasure!
