Congratulations to our October Staff of the Month, Mrs. Jacaty! 💙 The word of the month was "motivating."
Here's what those that nominated her said:
"Mrs. Jacaty absolutely gets the
most out of our ag students. Under
her direction both the ag and FFA
programs are growing by leaps and
bounds. She sets high standards and
gets good results all the while
fostering a sense of community and
family."
"Even though I don't get many
opportunities to connect with Jessika, I
am always impressed with her passion
and energy when it comes to the farm.
She works hard to have a top notch
program. Her students love the program
and the skills that are gained."
