YAYWORTHY:

Nominator Samuel Hillbish said:

"She always puts a smile on every student's face, makes the class laugh and makes the classroom enjoyable with fun experiments and goes above and beyond for us to learn and enjoy life science.

"When she allowed people that didn't want to eat the gummy bears (part of the experiment) because of their religion, she gave them Sour Patch Kids instead."

Thank you for all you do, Jessica Kennedy, to make a positive difference and move HCPS forward!
