The H.E.A.R.T. award is given by the district to one of our classified employees each month. This month's award was earned by our own Ms. Eberle. Read below for the reasons why Ms. Eberle deserves this award. Congratulations!
Today, we have the privilege of recognizing someone who truly embodies the spirit of service, teamwork, and dedication that makes Putnam County Middle School such a special place. It is my honor to celebrate Ms. Jessica Eberle.
Jessica originally joined the PCMS family in 2022 as our ISS Para Support. From the moment she arrived, she demonstrated a strong commitment to our students and a willingness to do whatever was needed to help our school succeed. Although she stepped away from PCMS for a brief period, we are incredibly grateful that she has returned this year, bringing back the same positive attitude, strong work ethic, and servant-hearted approach that made such an impact before.
One of her greatest strengths is her flexibility. In particular, every day middle school presents new challenges, unexpected situations, and opportunities to serve. Ms. Eberle never hesitates when a need arises. Whether it is supporting administration, assisting teachers, stepping in to help students, or taking on responsibilities outside of her usual role, she does so with professionalism, positivity, and a smile. She understands that being part of a school team means working together for the common good, and she consistently puts the needs of our school community first.
Ms. Eberle is also remarkably adaptable. She adjusts quickly to changing circumstances and approaches every task with a solution-oriented mindset. No matter the challenge, she remains calm, reliable, and ready to help. Her ability to pivot when needed and maintain a positive attitude is a tremendous asset to our staff and students.
What stands out most about Ms. Eberle is her willingness to serve. She is the type of person who responds with, "How can I help?" before anyone even has to ask. She supports administration, collaborates with teachers, and most importantly, builds positive relationships with students. Her genuine care for others and commitment to doing what is best for children does not go unnoticed. She is a team player in every sense of the word and represents the very best of what it means to be a member of the PCMS family.
Her contributions may not always be the most visible, but they are certainly among the most valuable. Schools thrive because of dedicated individuals like her who are willing to step up, fill gaps, and ensure that students and staff have what they need to be successful.
Ms. Eberle, your PCMS family is truly excited to have you back home at Putnam County Middle School. Thank you for your flexibility, your adaptability, your servant leadership, and your commitment to our staff and students. We are better because you are here, and we are grateful for the positive difference you make every single day.
Please join me in congratulating Ms. Jessica Eberle. Your hard work, dedication, and heart for service are greatly appreciated and richly deserved.
Congratulations, Ms. Eberle!
