Congratulations Betsy Jermstad!
Tyler Jermstad - State Farm Agent and Temple ISD Alumni, in coordination with Temple ISD presented the Good Neighbor Honor to a deserving educator on Friday, November 3rd. The Good Neighbor Honor is awarded to the educator whom in addition to their excellence in the classroom, displays intentional kindness and compassion to their students and peers. Mrs. Betsy Jermstad, Kennedy-Powell Elementary School, was honored by submission of a fellow staff member. The awarded recipient received a certificate and a book was donated to their campus library in her honor.
To be considerate of the relationship Mr. Jermstad shares with the awarded, a secondary council was elected to finalize the named candidate for this honor.
Temple ISD is privileged to recognize Mrs. Jermstad and we wish to thank Mr. Jermstad for his support of Temple ISD and the educators whom excel in and outside the classroom. Congratulations!
