Deshler Public Schools

Sierra Shaw has been nominated for the NSASSP Region 1 Award in recognition of her exceptional service, dedication, and impact during her first year as Administrative Assistant at Deshler Public Schools. In a position that has experienced turnover, Mrs. Shaw has brought stability and positivity, and a willingness to go above & beyond.

From the moment she began, Mrs. Shaw embraced the challenge and a “whatever it takes” attitude. She not only fulfilled the expectations of her position but effectively stepped into the responsibilities of driving routes, earning her local sub license to fill in classrooms, and takes care of hiring all subs, as well as filling the front office role that was once held by two people. She ensures that the daily operations of our school run seamlessly. Her ability to organize, prioritize, and problem-solve in a fast-paced environment has been instrumental in maintaining consistency for both staff and students.

Mrs. Shaw has assisted with driving routes, demonstrating a level of flexibility and dedication that is truly above and beyond her role. She has had a positive impact on our school climate. She is often the first point of contact for students, staff, and parents, and she consistently creates a welcoming and supportive environment. Her kindness, patience, and genuine desire to help others make her a trusted and valued presence in our building.

In a short amount of time, Mrs. Shaw has proven herself to be reliable, adaptable, and deeply committed to the success of our school community. Her work, often behind the scenes, has a lasting and meaningful impact on everyone she serves.

For her outstanding dedication, flexibility, and service to Deshler Public Schools, we strongly recommend Mrs. Shaw for the NSASSP Region 1 Award for Administrative Assistants.
