“I decided to nominate Amanda Jones because of her hard work and dedication to not only her required duties within the position but also the overwhelming support she offers to all of her counselors. Whether it is during work hours or well beyond, she is known to respond without hesitation. Amanda has a sense of humor and kind spirit that truly makes a difference, especially in the position she holds. I want you to take the time to truly reflect on how much Amanda does for the students, staff, and people around her. The Rome City School District and community is lucky to have such an asset and advocate!” – Anonymous
