The January 2022 honorees are Darren Minix, Binion Elementary teacher, and Tim Jochum, BISD bus driver. Pictured with the honorees are Superintendent Dr. Gayle Stinson (L or R) and Donna Thomas with EECU.

Darren Minix’s recommendation said, “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. …  My son loves his teacher and looks forward to school each day. Thank you for all you do, it doesn’t go unnoticed!”

Tim Jochum recommendation said, “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!”
