Wednesday, April 27,2022, is Administrative Professionals Day, but we are celebrating our unsung heroes all week long. Ms. Tiffany Kite--Administrative Professional --Shenandoah Elementary School. Ms. Kite has been with Page County Public Schools for the past 27 years. She has served all of those years with Shenandoah Elementary School, with the exception of the 2009-2010 school year, when she was located at Grove Hill. When asked what motivates her to work hard, she responded, "service to others." She says she enjoys working behind the scenes to serve the faculty/staff, students, parents, and Shenandoah community. Ms. Kite said that recently that a bus driver brought her the cutest little bouquet in a baby bottle; the store did not have a vase, so she improvised. She said she wanted her to have the flowers "right then and there rather than the next day," so she chose the next best thing for a vase! "I loved her creativity, it really touched my heart. The bottle vase means more to me than a glass or crystal vase; it serves as a great reminder to humble ourselves and to be kind to others. Acts of kindness do not have to be huge or extravagant. It's the little things in life that pull at the heartstrings!! I will treasure her heartfelt token of friendship & kindness, the "vase" and the memory for years to come!!" Thank you, Ms. Kite, for all of your years of service to Page County Public Schools. You are appreciated.
