Dean Larson is one of the hardest working and valuable members of our staff. He routinely works nights and weekends to make sure that we have working technology each day. Dean has always provided complete service with a kind and friendly demeanor, and even throws in a corny joke or two! He not only supports my classroom tech needs, but teaches me so that I am better able today than ever before to troubleshoot my own issues. I know that I can email him during a class, and he can almost always walk me through the solution in just a few minutes. This allows me to keep my students as engaged as possible. I really would have had a difficult time navigating the virtual learning world last year without Dean. We are blessed to have a great person in our district such as Dean Larson. #AllStar #BeloitProud

Dakota Lindsey is so helpful. He went out of his way to assist me in locating a desk before the beginning of the school year. Due to a shortage of furniture he went to multiple locations to find a desk. The only available desk wasn't functional as it was, so Dakota stayed late to fix and paint the desk on Tuesday evening and had it in my office bright and early on Wednesday morning before school started. As a new employee I am so thankful for his help and dedication to his work. Dakota is a role model and delivers exceptional customer service and follow-up. I am so glad that he is a part of our District staff. #AllStar #BeloitProud

For almost 21 years, Ardis has served the District Finance Office, managing our accounts payable, p-cards, and at times our bookkeeping. Ardis' customer service, attention to detail, and willingness to help everyone, truly embodies what it means to be an all-star. One area to highlight in her recent work is her ability to work across departments and buildings to record district assets. This was extremely important with the device refresh of both staff and student devices. Not only did she need to record the new devices coming into the district but also record the disposal of the old devices that the district did not retain. This was a tremendous, multi-departmental, collaborative effort that appeared flawless from the outside eye. Ardis is a true gem and
deserves to be recognized as an SDB All-Star.

Un área a destacar en su trabajo reciente es su capacidad de trabajar con varios departamentos y edificios para registrar los bienes del distrito. Esto fue extremadamente importante con la actualización de dispositivos tanto del personal como de los estudiantes. No solo necesitaba registrar los nuevos dispositivos que ingresaban al distrito, sino también registrar los dispositivos antiguos que el distrito no retuvo. Este fue un tremendo esfuerzo de colaboración de varios departamentos, que parecía algo impecable desde el exterior. Ardis es una verdadera joya y merece ser reconocida como All-Star del Distrito.

Harold's intention from day one was to always go above and beyond anything that he was assigned to do. He was very eager to have the opportunity to be a lead custodian at any building, to prove to everyone one and himself that he could run a building. His supervisor, Andres Acevedo, saw potential in him but knew Harold needed experience in the everyday nuts and bolts of maintaining a building and growing personal relationships with the staff. Harold’s dedication and perseverance paid off in a big way, being named the custodial lead of the district’s newest building, Fran Fruzen. Harold has not only met the standards set by Andres but has by far exceeded them. Harold has been seen cleaning the nooks and crannies of Fruzen, coming up with his daily cleaning lists, and has taken the pride of ownership of Fran Fruzen. It's always a pleasure to encounter a strong advocate of not only their building but the staff who reside there. If ever someone deserves the recognition of a job well done, it's Harold Darrow.
