For the month of February, Kimberly Williams, of GJM Elementary was selected for the Family Ma_ers Award by the Ingleside ISD School Board, flanked by President Teresa Flores (left) and Superintendent Sco_ Kilgore (right). She was also awarded $100 from the Ingleside ISD Education Foundation. Here is an excerpt from the nomination that was submi_ed on her behalf: 'Our son Elijah is in 5th grade at GJM and was born with multiple heart conditions. About a month ago we had a small scare, and Elijah was not feeling very well after P.E. and recess. The first thing nurse Williams did was take his blood pressure and it was indeed elevated. Elijah came home and was able to calm down and allow his levels to regulate, but ever since that day nurse Williams goes out of her way not just once, but twice a day to check Elijah‘s vitals. She then sends them to me so we can keep a log to report back to his cardiologist. She is such a great asset to GJM, and I hope all of Ingleside ISD realizes the blessing we have in her. The extra care she shows in these situations makes it so much easier (for) parents to know that daily our child is being cared for at school just as he is at home! She has also taken on the load of being the P.T.O. president and has helped facilitate the school to have so much fun. She does pickle and popcorn days, she a_ends li_le league games and watches some of the students from GJM. She, with the help of others, orchestrated the fall festival earlier in the school year and it was a huge success. She embodies what it means to be a recipient of the Family Ma_ers Award.'
