Congratulations to Ms. Joanne Lyons, our amazing librarian assistant, on her recognition as the Summer 2024 FCPS CARES Region 1 Recipient of the Month, presented by the FCPS Department of Human Resources.

The FCPS CARES Program is an opportunity for parents, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others and show they care. We invite you to submit your story below, so we can all acknowledge the good work of FCPS employees.

Below is the write-up that was submitted:

Mrs. Lyons works as an IA in the library at Herndon ES. She truly exemplifies what it means to CARE about her students! Each day, she greets all with loving smiles and hugs. Her face lights up at the sight of our Herndon Bees. When a student needs a little extra TLC - she’s there to comfort and encourage with love. Mrs. Lyons has also been known to supply students with what they need to start the year off right- shiny new backpacks and shoes included. She spends many weekends cheering students on at soccer games when parents can’t make it due to work obligations. Her selfless and supportive nature are so wonderful and I, among many others, feel she deserves recognition! HES is so lucky to have her. We love you Mrs. Lyons!
