Superintendent Dr. Telena Wright and the AISD Leadership Team surprised the April "Wright Stuff" Award winner Judy Fischer!
Mrs. Fischer is a Special Education Instructional Assistant at Hilltop Elementary and has been with the district for 7 years. Mrs. Fischer has been a shining light in the life of every student that she meets. For her nomination, her fellow colleagues wrote...
-Mrs. Fischer is a student and staff favorite on our campus. She opens doors in the morning, and no matter what door kids get out of, they all make sure to tell her hello. Most go to her for a hug even. She is such a great help to our teachers when she is assigned to their room. She knows what needs to be done without being asked. She is always alert to students' needs. She's a positive attitude, paired with an incredible work ethic.
-She is an exemplary employee that is always on time and available to do whatever is asked with a smile on her face. She deals with some difficult situations without blinking an eye. She earns respect from all the students and adults she works with whether they are in special education or general education. Judy is always willing to step up and assist whenever and wherever a need arises.
Special THANK YOU to the district Eagle Partners for sponsoring the $100 Amazon gift card that Mrs. Fischer receives with her award.
