Snow Hill, NC - At the last Board of Education meeting for 2022, the December Employee of the Month was revealed. West Greene Elementary’s assistant principal, Mrs. Anya Mattingly, was announced as Greene County Schools’ Outstanding Employee. Mrs. Mattingly has been assistant principal at West Greene for 3 years and is currently in her 4th year. One reason for her nomination is because “she puts in so much time and effort to make experiences that the students and staff will remember for a lifetime,” writes Laura Brown, a 3rd Grade Los Puentes teacher.

All staff had the opportunity to nominate a fellow employee who consistently goes above and beyond their role to positively impact others. This process allows employees to be recognized for accomplishments seen by one or two peers while permitting administrators and team leads to nominate from a broader perspective. The employee selected for Outstanding Employee of the Month is recognized at the Board of Education meeting and given a certificate and a gift card to a local restaurant. This is one way Greene County Schools can show appreciation to its staff members for their hard work.
