The March students and staff of the month were recognized at the Board of Trustees meeting held on Monday, March 23. Each month, two employees are recognized from across the district for excelling in their professional area.

This month, the Finley-Oates campus recognized Jessica Womack as BISD Teacher of the Month for her extraordinary talents in her second grade classroom, as well as her enrichment class and year-long bird project with those students.

Finley-Oates also recognized Jennifer Kirkpatrick, who serves as campus PEIMS Secretary by title but also fills numerous other roles that keep the campus operating smoothly.

Phyllis Kinnaird, the Director of Child Nutrition, was also recognized at the March Board meeting for the department's perfect federal review this year.
