Rachel Madsen and Robyn Gamble were honored as the Oneida School District “Employees of the Month” at the School Board meeting on Tuesday, February 18.  Rachel and Robyn teach the CNA and other health professions courses at Malad High School. Principal Dallan Rupp read the following letter addressed to Rachel and Robyn:

“It is with great pleasure that we recognize your exceptional work and dedication provided to the students in the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) program at Malad High School. 

“Your hard work and commitment to providing our students with this opportunity to prepare for their futures is evident in everything you do. We would like to recognize that because of the two of you, our students not only learn the necessary skills for success in the healthcare field but also develop the professionalism and confidence they need to excel in their future careers. 

“Your passion for teaching and creating a positive, engaging learning environment is truly appreciated. Your ability to connect with the students and support them through their academic and personal growth is commendable. The program’s continued success and the impact you have on the future of these students would not be possible without your dedication and expertise.”

In accepting the award, Rachel noted that the program would not succeed without collaboration with the Oneida County EMTs and the Hospital Long-Term Care staff.

Rachel and Robyn received plaques, copies of the “Starfish” poem about making a difference for the one, and gift cards to area restaurants.
