Every month, the Reeds Spring School District recognizes one non-teaching staff member as the Employee of the Month. September’s Excellence Award winner is Edie Back. She’s the kitchen manager at Reeds Spring Intermediate School and has worked for the district for 20 years.

“Edie makes every individual that walks in her kitchen feel like family,” said teacher Lee Ann Chastain. “You'll go for the smell of bacon, but you'll stay for the stories!” 

Back received multiple nominations from other district staff members, who recognize her dedication to the job and the care she shows to everyone.

“Edie checks in with kids and teachers every day to make sure we are all doing well,” said administrative assistant Nettie Greenwalt.

“You can tell she has a great impact on every student she comes in contact with,” said basketball coach Austin Kendrick.

“Edie does all of this with a wonderful smile that makes everyone around her feel welcome and special,” said behavior intervention coach Tina Holub.

“If you haven't had food cooked by Ms. Edie, you are missing out,” said teacher Anna Stone.

The district accepts Excellence Award nominations from students, staff, parents, and community members. You can find the nomination form on the district website, www.rs-wolves.com
