Laura Paul from Peine Ridge Elementary Named 2019 District Support Staff Employee of the Year
Laura Paul, a paraprofessional at Peine Ridge Elementary School, has been selected as the 2019 District Support Staff Employee of the Year! “I am so honored and humbled to be named District Support Staff Person of the Year,” said Paul. “We have so many wonderful support staff employees that I learn from and bounce ideas off all the time! I have learned through pushing into so many classrooms that there are many wonderful teaching styles, and that the best teaching style that I see being used in the Wentzville School District is LOVE.”
The surprise announcement was made at the annual District Awards Banquet at Timberland High School on Wednesday, May 8. “Laura is such a kind and gentle person that brings a sense of calm to her building with her positive attitude and constant smile,” said Peine Ridge Principal Dr. Ryan Andrews. “She adds so much love, compassion, and professionalism to each and every interaction with every student she works with and every staff member that she comes in contact with. She is always willing to help and do what is best for kids.”
The District Awards Banquet is held each year to honor the WSD Teachers of the Year, Support Staff Employees of the Year, 20-year and 30-year employees and retirees. Entertainment was provided by the Holt Jazz Band, Timberland pianist Joshua Gary, and the Liberty Chamber Choir. Congratulations to those distinguished employees who received an award and best wishes to all of our retirees! To view a complete list of this year's recipients, visit the WSD website.
