Each month, Birdville ISD partners with EECU to recognize a teacher and a support staff member in the District\u2019s \u201cI Shine at Birdville ISD!\u201d program for making a difference in the lives of students, staff and the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Members of BISD\u2019s Partners in Education Advisory Committee select the \u201cI Shine at Birdville ISD!\u201d winners from recognitions received through the District\u2019s \u201cTouch of Class\u201d program. The Touch of Class program provides the opportunity for students, staff, parents and community members to recognize Birdville ISD employees for the positive work they do for children and the District. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When a Touch of Class nomination is received, a certificate and a copy of the nomination are sent to the honoree’s supervisor. The supervisor then recognizes the employee and presents them with their certificate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cI Shine at Birdville ISD!\u201d honorees each receive $50 from EECU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The January 2022 honorees are Darren Minix, Binion Elementary teacher, and Tim Jochum, BISD bus driver. Pictured with the honorees are Superintendent Dr.\u202fGayle Stinson and Donna Thomas with EECU. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Darren Minix\u2019s recommendation said, \u201c<\/strong>Mr. Minix has always been in contact with me from day one on how he could help accommodate my child. When he misses school he always sends a message to make sure he is okay. \u2026 <\/strong>My son loves his teacher and looks forward to school each day. Thank you for all you do, it doesn\u2019t go unnoticed!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tim Jochum recommendation said, \u201c<\/strong>Thank you so much Tim! Your kindness and professionalism did not go unnoticed by the 2nd graders of W.A. Porter. I truly hope we see you on another field trip! We need more people like you in this world!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n To honor any BISD staff member, submit a Touch of Class Nomination<\/a>.
