YAY EGYPT WOODSON! Egypt Woodson, a registrar at Brookland Middle School, is today's Yay of the Day honoree! Superintendent Amy Cashwell honored her recently at Brookland! 👏
YAYWORTHY:
Her nominators, Roshonda Ballard, Flor Eberhard, Darin Freeman and Nicole Smith of the school counseling department, said,
"Our registrar is truly a Registrar Extraordinaire and is more than deserving of a Yay of the Day award! She is often one of the very first people our families encounter when they enter our school, and she has a remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcomed, valued and comfortable from the very beginning. Every day, she greets and assists countless families with patience, kindness, professionalism and an incredible wealth of knowledge. She understands that transitioning into a new school can sometimes feel overwhelming, but she goes above and beyond to make families feel seen, heard, and supported. She sets the tone for a positive and welcoming transition into our school community. Beyond her registrar responsibilities, she is a tremendous support to our school counseling department. She is truly the glue that helps hold our department together, helping us stay organized, informed and running efficiently while we work to address the many and varying needs of our students and families each day. Her willingness to step in, assist, problem-solve and keep things moving makes an incredible difference in our daily work.
"Her commitment to serving all families is especially admirable. She works diligently with families who speak different languages and never allows language or any other barrier to stand in the way of making someone feel welcome and supported. She finds ways to communicate, connect, and ensure that every family receives the assistance they need. She doesn't simply process paperwork or provide information—she builds connections, creates comfort, removes barriers, and makes people feel like they belong. Her work may happen behind the scenes at times, but the impact she makes is seen and felt throughout our entire school community. For her unwavering dedication, compassion, patience, expertise, and commitment to making every family feel welcomed and supported, we proudly nominate her as our Yay of the Day!"
Thank you for all you do, Egypt, to make a positive difference and move HCPS forward!
