Leslie Lotspeich was honored as Volunteer of the Year for the St. Joseph School District during a surprise assembly Friday afternoon at Pershing Elementary.
The district said Lotspeich was nominated for her efforts at Pershing.
“The countless hours Leslie spends at our school clearly illustrate her passion for service at her kids’ school. Not only is Leslie’s involvement at school in a formal capacity (PTA officer, volunteer coordinator) but she is also continuously involved in informal ways-such as every single morning she stops in to see if we need any extra help throughout the building.” the nomination form said.
Several teachers and staff members also commented on Lotspeich’s involvement at Pershing.
“Leslie dedicates her time and talent to support all school and PTA activities,” said Lindsay Phillips, Kindergarten Teacher.
“She shows the children kindness, understanding, and love, while always asking them to do their best,” said Shelia McCullough, Kindergarten Teacher. “She’s here at school pretty much everyday helping students and staff in so many situations.”
