Superintendent’s Awards

In collaboration with Johnson High School counselors, these volunteers were the driving force behind the creation and execution of the 3-part series titled "Mindful Moves and Healthy Habits." The program reinforces key messages around mindfulness, emotional awareness and healthy habits for students and families. They spent countless hours making the presentation and planning activities. They led meetings over three evenings with creativity and compassion and modeled exemplary leadership in service to our students and school community.

 

These church leaders with Now Word Covenant Church partner with our MacArthur cluster schools. They have supported our NEISD families each year with full Thanksgiving meals. This year they served 163 families. This took months of planning. They dedicated time to organize food drop off, set up bins, and pick up day with the families. They go above and beyond expectations each year to dedicate this special opportunity to our NEISD families in need.

 

Joe Heston is a dedicated Hidden Forest Elementary volunteer who supports students, staff and school operations with any need you can think of. He volunteers on campus almost daily, assists in classrooms and provides tutoring. He also helps with hands-on tasks, like assembling classroom furniture and repairing outdoor equipment. He supports school events and programs, including field days, Bike Rodeos and teacher appreciation activities. His contributions allow teachers to focus more fully on instruction, and his ongoing dedication is incredibly appreciated.

 

Nina and Maegan lead Gardening Club activities at Hardy Oak Elementary. They coordinate school-wide garden experiences that integrate hands-on learning and environmental stewardship. They also partner with community members to organize weekend campus clean-up events and maintain outdoor learning spaces. They collaborate with NEISD Nutrition Services to plan and prepare fresh, student-grown produce for campus taste-testing. They also work closely with community partners and secure grant funding to ensure the long-term sustainability and growth of the program. Both have made a positive impact on our community by creating a sense of ownership and pride in the campus.

 

For the past several years, Erika has dedicated her time and talents to support Wetmore Elementary’s 5th grade Living History Museum. She coordinates and prepares costumes for students who need them…she organizes, maintains, and updates the costumes to ensure they accurately represent the historical figures. This helps make the Living History Museum a memorable and meaningful experience for students while teachers get to focus on preparing students academically for the event.

 

 

Julissa Sanchez leads the student council at Pieper High School in Comal ISD. We are recognizing her and her students for what they’ve done for Olmos Elementary. Julissa met an NEISD parent at a recent conference who told her about a huge service project that needed some support. Our NEISD parent shared how Summit Church regularly creates snack bags for the kids at Olmos Elementary, and suddenly students at Pieper High School and their feeder middle schools started helping too. They have collected hundreds of snack items and have contributed so much to our Olmos students. 

 

Kate and Alex are members of the Oak Meadow Elementary PTA and chair the Art Committee. They have given more than 100 hours of service just this school year. They work tirelessly to mount displays in every hallway and organize the portfolios that every student takes home as a keepsake. They also show up for Grandparents Day, Lunch with Loved Ones, MAVSfest, and every field trip in between. They truly have a heart for every child and staff member at Oak Meadow.

 

Nicole is the Oak Meadow Elementary PTA representative in charge of staff appreciation. She has been a dedicated pillar of the PTA for several years, serving in numerous capacities. Known for her quiet generosity, she is often found working behind the scenes, ensuring staff feels valued through thoughtful gifts and treats. Whether she is providing essential supplies or stepping in to help before even being asked, her presence is felt across the campus in countless meaningful ways. She has volunteered close to 100 hours this school year.

 

This group of Wetmore Elementary parent volunteers and retired teachers truly stepped up when the school needed extra support. They immediately jumped into action to help scan classroom library books. They devoted countless hours doing this for our teachers, which freed up valuable time for our teachers to focus on instruction and supporting students. Their actions went far beyond what could ever be expected.

 

The Elf Louise Christmas Project provides toys and gifts to hundreds of children within our District. This past year, more than 1,400 NEISD students were given gifts. The project ensured underprivileged students don’t get left out during the holiday season. Family specialists work with school counselors to identify these students to make sure no child is missed. Elf Louise recruits over 400 Santa teams to deliver presents directly to homes and those teams brought immense joy to our students.

 

These parents have spent countless hours supporting Regency Place Elementary for several years now, by planning, preparing and executing practically every school-wide special event. They have surpassed a combined 700 hours of hands-on support to transform events into meaningful, memorable experiences for students and families. This extraordinary commitment reflects their deep level of investment, partnership, and care for our students.

 

Crystal is a Roan Forest Elementary parent who responds to every need without hesitation, even stepping up for multiple grade levels and teachers. She’s at the school so often, most students believe she is part of the staff. She helps in the lost and found, trains volunteers, makes copies, and so much more. While her daughter is no longer in fourth grade, she still helps that teacher with classroom materials whenever she’s needed.  She gets other parents involved too and has served as PTA president and treasurer. Mrs. Beck’s impact is felt on the campus each day.

 

These volunteers are from Zapatos, a non-profit organization that provides thousands of shoe donations to school-age children in Bexar County. Hundreds of those shoes make it to our NEISD schools and students each year. East Terrell Hills Elementary serves as a distribution hub for our campuses. Recently, they held a huge distribution event where hundreds of students were fitted for the perfect pair of new shoes and socks. Zapatos provides year-round service, managing shoe requests and maintaining inventory to ensure rapid, same-week delivery throughout the entire school year. We are so appreciative of this amazing work.

 

Kenia is a volunteer dance instructor for the Ballet Folklorico dance program at Walzem Elementary. She has volunteered since the start of this school year with students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Not only is she teaching them the culture and dances, she helps them express themselves creatively. The group is very successful, having been asked to perform at several District and local events and featured on the news. Kenia also helps grow parent involvement as many have stepped in to help with preparations, costumes, hair, ironing, or anything else needed. Her impact on her students is extraordinary.

 

Lacey is an amazing parent volunteer at Walzem Elementary. She comes to school every week and assists with campus events, staff appreciation breakfasts and distributing snack packs for students. After passing out snacks that children can take home for the weekends, she’ll pop in to supervise school lunches, restock the teacher workroom, or make copies.  She can be counted on to help at a moment's notice and really goes above and beyond with her time and dedication.

 

Earlier this school year, volunteers from Rackspace organized a massive donation drive. They partnered with the San Antonio Food Bank and collected funds and food items. Through their efforts, 400 NEISD families were supplied with a large turkey and 20 pounds of food. On the day of distribution, volunteers worked for hours to load vehicles with the turkeys and food. For over 13 years, Lindsey has sustained this meaningful partnership, demonstrating a consistent, heartfelt dedication to helping families in need.

 

Carolyn collaborated closely with Padre Pio Catholic Church to lead a meaningful holiday initiative. Through her efforts, donations were collected to provide 200 NEISD students with $50 gift cards for Christmas, as well as $25 H-E-B gift cards for their families. This support allowed families to celebrate the Christmas holiday together without financial stress. We appreciate Carolyn’s consistent and heartfelt dedication to helping our families in need.

 

Mr. Escobedo works for FCE Benefits who has been a community partner with our District’s Family Engagement program for more than five years. They provide toys during Christmas, turkeys for our staff, gift cards and other donations as needed. Mr. Escobedo and FCE are invaluable partners….in fact, they’ve already reached out to ask how FCE Benefits can support Walzem next school year.

 

Dominique and Kacee are sponsors of the French Club at Johnson High School. With their guidance, these students joined forces to help another worthy cause at their school. They organized a fundraiser and made crepes to sell and to raise money for the newly established Johnson Cluster Food Pantry, which started this school year. All proceeds from the crepe sales went to the food pantry.  It was a labor-intensive job, but they were motivated by the cause, and we appreciate their hard work.

 

Ivan is a student at Wood Middle School and has dedicated many hours to volunteering and fundraising more than $4,000 for the special education community. The Fiesta Especial Royal Court is a leadership and life skills program creating visibility for the leadership and contributions youth and adults with disabilities are making in our local community. Because of his fundraising efforts, he was named a Prince. Ivan dedicated approximately 200 hours toward community service. Most of the funds raised went to Celebration Day where NEISD children in special needs programs can attend for free with a $100 allowance for bus reimbursement.

 

Sara is a volunteer who teaches regular art lessons at Redland Oaks Elementary. She helps the children develop a passion for art through elaborate projects and allows them to explore and learn different art mediums. She has spent hundreds of hours planning, preparing, and teaching art lessons to the students and has been doing this voluntarily for 12 years. Year after year, she gives of her own time to help every student in the school discover their talents. She is a valued PTA member and dear friend to so many in the school community.

When no one from Harmony Hills Elementary School was able to assume the role of PTA President this year, Ms. Schweers selflessly stepped in to lead, organize and support the school community. She was previously the president but stepped down when her children moved to another school. Still, she took on multiple roles within the PTA, ensuring that events, fundraisers, and initiatives continued without interruption. Her unwavering support makes her a true example of servant leadership.

 

For over a decade, Mr. Isaac has allowed the students from Krueger School of Applied Technologies (KSAT), now known as the Space and Engineering Technologies Academy (SETA), to use his land in Luling, for rocket launches. Before each launch day, Mr. Isaac spends hours preparing his land to ensure it is safe, accessible, and fully ready for student use...including mowing down large sections of grass and moving his cattle. We greatly appreciate his partnership and generosity.

 

Aafreen has served as a CyberPatriot mentor at SETA Middle School for the past two years, bringing invaluable expertise from her role as a company director. Her professional experience helps guide and inspire young minds in the field of cybersecurity. She empowers students and encourages critical thinking. She volunteers time each week and full days for Saturday competitions.  She has inspired students to explore career and college options with top cybersecurity programs like UTSA, MIT, and more.

 

Ms. Aldrich generously supports the District’s Family Engagement team by donating her time and H-E-B resources. Sessions are offered to parents of young children at several of our pre-k campuses which help increase parents’ confidence to teach their children early literacy skills at home. Each child also receives 12 new books. Ms. Aldrich has devoted months of careful planning to help with this initiative, and we appreciate her efforts.

 

Michelle is a representative of the Snack Pak 4 Kids that is a lifeline for many of our students.  Snack Pak 4 Kids provides consistent weekend meals to students in need. Volunteers dedicate countless hours each week to organizing, packing, and delivering food bags, assuring that no child goes hungry when school is not in session. The time, care, and effort Snack Pak 4 Kids invests in our students exemplifies the true meaning of community partnership and service.

 

Mike Ftacik was previously the safety specialist at Bulverde Creek Elementary School. He checked doors, helped with drills, and assisted with dismissals and arrivals. He also took time to build a rapport with students. This year, he took a new position outside our District, but he still shows up every morning as a volunteer. He greets buses at 6:45, checks the back gates where the buses drop off, and helps at the front car drop off line – all before he goes to his actual work. 

 

Mr. Conard is a dedicated member of the Oak Meadow Elementary School PTA Executive Board. He is also the co-leader of the Watch DOGS program there. As a dedicated parent volunteer, he has built sets for choir performances, enhanced campus security, helped decorate grade level bulletin boards, and even removed tree branches and wasp nests. He sees a need and always jumps right in.

 

These Regency Place Elementary School parent volunteers usually help out in other areas on the campus, but a special job came up that needed their attention.  They were asked to make more than 350 buttons, one with each student’s photo. It was a special gift for parents who received the buttons during the school’s Academic Parent Teacher Team Meetings in September. Parents were so excited to get their button and wear their child’s photo as they visited the campus.  Faculty and staff could easily recognize the parent and who their child was. It was a great way to make the event run smoother and added a special touch for parents.

 

Mrs. Garcia has been the LPAC (Language Proficiency Assessment Committee) parent representative at Bulverde Creek Elementary School for two years. Each school is required to have a parent representative on their committee – and her support helps us determine the best services for our bilingual students to ensure their success. She comes to school every time she’s asked, several times per year. She spends several hours at some LPAC meetings throughout the year, so we appreciate her willingness to serve.

 

Anthony, with the Buffalo Wild Wings’ Walzem location, has gone above and beyond to partner with Roosevelt High School this school year. They generously provide meals for student recognition events and for staff during after-school meetings and activities – all at no charge. With at least 300 employees on the campus, that is not a small donation. Mr. Korn made a commitment early in the school year to provide meals for staff on their designated recognition days.  They also deliver meals for coaching staff on Saturdays after every football game. His continued dedication to fostering this community partnership is a great asset to Roosevelt. His mentality is that we are all in it together to make sure students are successful.

 

Community Bible Church is a new neighbor to Roosevelt High School, and already they are reaching out to the campus and making a difference. Providing snacks for students and staff, serving as mentors, coming to support at football games, providing jerseys for Special Olympics athletes and providing Thanksgiving dinners for families in need are just a few things that they have done to support the campus. CBC volunteers consistently show up with compassion, generosity, and a servant’s heart, helping ensure that no student or family feels unseen or unsupported.

 

Jan is the President of the Windcrest Women’s Club. Every year, they provide large monetary donations to Roosevelt High School, as well as volunteer time.  Over the years, the Windcrest Women’s Club has been instrumental. They have provided cleats, club dues, dress shirts, ties, and even graduation caps and gowns for students who may not have otherwise been able to afford them. Beyond their financial support, the members consistently volunteer at Roosevelt community events and frequently check in to see how they can help. They truly embody the spirit of partnership and service.

 

Elvis is one of our wonderful Watch DOGS. He helps in the Stone Oak Elementary School cafeteria several times a week. He helps all grade levels, especially the little ones. He opens containers, helps students find tables and does it all with an amazing attitude. The students love it and see him as a role model. He brings a smile every time he is there and is so kind with the students.

 

Mr. Buitron is another Stone Oak Elementary School Watch DOG. He volunteers almost every morning to help with drop offs… he opens car doors, greets students and helps them get safely inside. This provides a much-needed benefit for our parents and staff and everyone loves seeing him each morning.  Volunteers play a critical role, and we couldn’t do it without people like Mr. Buitron.

 

St. Thomas Episcopal volunteers began partnering with Harmony Hills Elementary School several years ago. Throughout the years, their contributions have grown. They are involved in many things like tutoring, and coordinating donations of food, school supplies and clothing for students. Harmony Hills students are improving their performance academically and growing socially because they have the essential items they need.  These volunteers always look for ways to support the school, and it means so much to have these community connections.

 

Raul and Elva are two of Stahl Elementary School’s outstanding volunteers. Raul has been a Watch DOG for the past four years. He never misses a Friday, when he comes to help deliver Snack Pak bags to the classrooms to ensure students have snacks for the weekend.  He also brings all his tools and an air pump to the Bike Rodeo and sets up a "bike repair shop" on the day of competition. Mrs. De la Cruz helps sort all the Snack Pak bags each week and has them prepared for delivery. She comes to Stahl every Wednesday to make sure the bags are organized and ready for delivery. She also has taken it upon herself to help organize all the donated clothing in the Family Specialist's area to make it easier for our students to benefit from the donations. They both have helped in many other ways and school events.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Martin have been extraordinary community supporters for Camelot Elementary School and several schools within the Roosevelt cluster. They have provided numerous monetary and in-kind donations throughout the school year to assist with family needs, student incentives and campus events. Their contributions have helped fund family engagement nights, classroom needs, and essential items for families facing financial hardship. Their efforts go far beyond what’s expected because they have no children in our schools yet continue to give selflessly.

 

Our after-school program’s partnership with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension has had a remarkable impact on our KIN program and the students we serve. Ms. Cavazos has gone to two campuses to provide a five-week mindfulness course in which she teaches students different skills. Ms. Villa is going to a middle school to provide a six-week robotic lessons. And Ms. Lopez is going to the January KIN Inservice to teach our supervisors enrichment skills and give them the materials they can use at their campus with their students. The partnership has fostered a greater sense of community between schools and local organizations.

 

Suzanne and Julio organized, planned, and financed the end-of-season dinner for both the seventh and eighth grade football teams at Wood Middle School. Not only did they purchase everything, they prepped and cooked the meal so more than 80 students could celebrate the end of an amazing season. They spent several weeks organizing, coordinating, and planning the event, took the initiative completely on their own, and required zero assistance from school staff. This level of dedication demonstrates their generosity and commitment to our students.

 

Sally is the receptionist at Bulverde Creek Elementary School, so she juggles a lot of responsibilities. And she also does a whole lot more than what’s expected. Sally originally started at Bulverde Creek as a volunteer. She knows the school like the back of her hand and is the go-to person for assistance with anything and everything. She has an amazing memory and will greet all students and their siblings by name. That is more than 800 students! She is often one of the first on the campus and doesn’t leave until all necessary duties are finished, including staying with a child whose parent has not yet arrived.

 

“Cheeseburger Day” is a time-honored tradition at Steubing Ranch Elementary School as a way to celebrate hardworking staff and embrace the school’s traditions. Diana is the administrative assistant at Steubing Ranch and Luis is her husband. They worked to get donations for the food, shopped for everything needed, chopped the vegetables, and decorated the staff lunchroom. Mr. Galvan took the day off work, and they spent most of the day supervising volunteers and grilling burgers for more than 100 staff members.

 

Jackie is the PE Assistant at Hardy Oak Elementary School. For the past few months, she has taken on additional responsibilities to support a colleague who has been out. She has been covering the crosswalk, ensuring everyone arrives and leaves school safely. She has taken the lead with the 5th grade Safety Patrols and hosts weekly meetings. She has been able to coordinate coverage of students if another teacher is absent and takes on any added responsibility without hesitation. She has stepped up and gone above and beyond to support close to 600 students in the gym each week.

 

It’s something we never want to happen, but when it does, we are glad we have staff who will do whatever it takes to respond. After school in August one day, Tejeda Middle School was notified that two school buses with their students were involved in an accident. Principal Martha Reyes and her Assistant Principal Michael Gonzalez immediately drove to the location on the highway. They worked with SAPD, SAFD and EMS to get students to a safe location and assess any injuries. Although scared, everyone was unhurt. With the assistance of NEPD Officer Scott Bell, students were placed on another bus, driven by Supervisor Helen Castillo, and a reunification plan was quickly put in place with the help of AP Rachel Dees and Dean Kristen Aceves. These individuals and more, worked quickly as a team to take care of the students, ensure their families were notified and that they were all picked up and safe.

 

Jacob and Ella along with the support of their mentor Mrs. Garcia opened a food pantry for the Johnson High School cluster. Each family is eligible to receive up to two weeks’ worth of food. This support has made a meaningful difference, and families have expressed deep gratitude for the help. Jacob and Ella dedicated a full year to preparing for this project. They spent countless hours after school and on weekends writing and refining their proposal, searching for available space at the school, seeking food donations, rallying support from staff, and assembling storage cabinets. They met with the school principal, San Antonio Food Bank, Johnson PTSA board, school clubs, and school staff to gather support and recruit volunteers. Throughout the process, they received invaluable guidance from Mrs. Garcia. It has made a tremendous difference in so many lives.

 

Thanks to Bryan’s knowledge of personal finance, Madison High School was the recipient of 400 new Chromebooks and chargers. Bryan competed in the Intuit Hour of Finance competition. Over the course of two weeks, he spent roughly 30 hours repeating a simulation that tested his personal finance knowledge. During the competition he had to master the use of credit, paying bills, work life balance, earning/spending money, and all the things related to personal finance. There were a total of 500 other schools who competed, with Madison ending up as one of only six national champion schools, winning the Chromebooks.

 

On a Friday evening in October, Churchill's dance teams were having a lock-in event on campus.  On the same evening, a custodian had gone into the locker room to place more soap while the girls were out on a scavenger hunt.  Tragically, the custodian collapsed as he entered the locker room and suffered a heart attack.  When the girls returned from the scavenger hunt, Isabella and Ashlitt found him on the floor.  They immediately ran to report it to the dance directors.  Ms. O'Reilly began CPR while Ms. Cole called 911 and ran to get the AED.  It took 15 minutes before EMS arrived and they were working on him the entire time. Once help arrived, he was transported to the hospital. Working together, these students and staff saved the custodian's life who had no pulse when they found him.  It was a scary experience, but they didn’t hesitate to do the right thing.
