The Fort Zumwalt community came together tonight for the annual Staff Appreciation Dinner, a celebratory evening dedicated to the professionals who define excellence in our schools.

The event served as a tribute to the Employees of the Year and Educators of the Year from every building across the district. The atmosphere was one of profound gratitude as colleagues, administrators, and board members gathered to recognize the individual achievements that drive our collective success.

Honoring Our Own at Progress South

While the entire district was celebrated, our building had a strong showing. We are bursting with pride for our local honorees who were recognized for their tireless commitment to our students:

  • Educator of the Year: Crystal Kelley

  • Employee of the Year: Brandy Moser

  • Celebrating Our Retirees: We also bid a fond (and bittersweet) farewell to:

    • Cindy Ball

    • Beth Garcia

    • Shari Gardocki

    • Sally Terrell

Their legacy will be felt in these hallways for years to come.

Events like these remind us that schools are more than just buildings; they are powered by people who give their hearts to their work and Progress South is definitely one of those places.
