District All-Star Student of the Month
Evelyn See, Federal Programs Specialist
It is with great pride that we recognize Mrs. Evelyn See as the January 2023 AVSD All-Star of the Month!
In her role as Federal Programs Specialist, Evelyn juggles many different responsibilities and she does so with a friendly attitude and a smile on her face. One of Evelyn’s roles is to oversee the recruitment and training of district volunteers. Need help with a bulletin board? Evelyn will find you a volunteer! Need support with making copies? Evelyn to the rescue! Need someone to work with small groups of students on basic Math and Reading skills? Evelyn will hook you up! Managing the volunteer program in AVSD is not easy but - as with everything she does - Evelyn makes it look easy.
In the last couple of years, Evelyn has taken a leadership role in organizing the distribution of food boxes to our families. Evelyn is involved in every step of the process, from ordering and picking up groceries to packing the food boxes to getting
them into the hands of our families. There have been many times when families were not able to come pick up their food boxes because they didn’t have transportation. Did those families go without a food box? No way… Evelyn delivered it to them herself. That’s just the kind of person that Evelyn is.
Perhaps Evelyn’s most important responsibility is coordinating our McKinney Vento Program, which supports our district’s homeless population. She is a master at gaining the trust of families who are going through the most difficult times imaginable and find it hard to trust anyone. Once she has their trust, she can help them by providing clothes, shoes, backpacks, and school supplies. She knows about every church, shelter, and social service organization in town and she connects our McKinney Vento families with these resources. She truly cares about these families and goes way above and beyond to support them.
It is for these reasons and many more that Evelyn See is the January 2023 AVSD All-
Star of the Month!
