Congratulations to the following employees who are the November 2021 recipients
of the Pursuit of Excellence Award for the Baldwin County School District.
Mrs. Amber Ivey is the Bookkeeper at Oak Hill Middle School and is a true definition of a team player. Her Principal, Daymond Ray, states "I'm not sure if she's our bookkeeper, nurse, crossing guard, or school contact tracer. She is always there to lend a helping hand wherever it is needed. I have never heard her say no when asked to assist with anything". Mrs. Ivey tackles all of her extra duties with a smile on her face. Even when her office was full of back-to-school supplies and you couldn't see her at her desk from all the big boxes, she got the supplies out in a timely manner. She doesn't have to do all these things, however, she knows that the staff and students need certain tasks completed if they are to be successful. Mrs. Amber Ivey, Thank you for being a shining example of excellence.
Dr. Jennifer Dunbar is relatively new to Baldwin County School district. In her first year, she has quickly established herself as a model of excellence.

Dr. Dunbar, thank you for being a shining example of excellence!

Her confidence has shot through the roof at the Early Learning Center, which has been a pleasure to watch since she started working with School Nutrition.
