MAY EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
June Neaves
School Counselor, Blue Ridge Elementary
The nomination for June Neaves as Ashe County Schools Employee of the Month reads as follows: Being an educator, I know first-hand how much a positive attitude and first morning words can impact our students. Each and every morning Mrs. June Neaves is on car line duty is always the same. She opens the vehicle door, with a smile on her face, greets my passenger and me with a pleasant “good morning,” and concludes the drop off with “Have a Happy Day.” And each morning is always the same. “Have a Happy Day…” I watch as I drive away. It’s the same with every drop off. I asked my passenger if Mrs. Neaves is always this way. Her response, “I love Ms. June. She always gives us little Hershey hugs.” Observation and comments from others make it obvious that Mrs. Neaves enjoys her job. It is also evident that she views each day as a happy day and each child as special. When I see her out in the community, her attitude remains the same – smile on her face. This type of personal touch truly helps in making our students’ day start off with a positive, happy beginning. A beginning that hopefully lasts throughout each and every day they spend in Ashe County Schools and beyond.
