CCBOE names April teacher, staff member of the month

Apr. 19—Cullman County Schools and America's First Federal Credit Union recognize a teacher and staff member each month.

April's Teacher of the Month is Jennifer Hays from Welti Elementary.

Hays moved grades this year to become a first-time 5th grade teacher.

"She has tackled this grade as she does everything she does with enthusiasm and a great attitude," said Gina Webb, Welti Principal. "Mrs. Hayes always goes above and beyond what is expected, and her positive attitude and dedication are infectious," said Webb.

Teressa Griffin has been named Staff Member of the Month. Griffin serves as the school custodian at Fairview High.

"Our school looks great due to her hard work and attention to detail," said Dr. Johnny Whaley, Fairview High Principal. "She is consistently taking interest in our students and always encourages them. She truly has a servant's heart," said Whaley.

Cullman County Schools thanks America's First Federal Credit Union for donating a $100 gift card to each employee of the month.
