Krishele Jensen, the Oneida School District “Employee of the Month” for April, began her career as a substitute teacher who was called upon to teach almost every day. She was a special education aide and then teacher at Malad Middle School for six years and has taught English and reading as the 7th grade ELA teacher for the past five years. At the April meeting of the School Board, Mr. Robert Hannah, Principal of Malad Middle School, read the following letter about Krishele’s service:

“[Krishele] is an outstanding teacher and a member of [the Middle School] leadership team.  She takes every responsibility seriously. She has to since she is our building’s test coordinator. State testing is a big deal, and Krishele builds the schedule and makes sure everything goes right.

“Krishele is a veteran teacher in our school district and welcomes change. A school day can change at any time, and I can always count on her forward thinking. That trait has helped create a successful climate for student learning at our school.”

Mr. Hannah added that he never has to worry when Krishele is in charge of something; he knows it will be done right.

In recognition of the honor, Krishele received a copy of the “Starfish” poem, a gift card, and a plaque that will be displayed in the District Office for the next month.
