Volunteer of the Year

Ms. Dawn Reynolds

Ms. Dawn Reynolds has been selected as Highland’s volunteer of the year. She is an integral part of the success of Highland’s Accelerated Reader and Treasure Reading programs. The Treasure Reading program rewards primary students (K-1) for keeping track of minutes read outside of the classroom. Accelerated Reader program rewards student for highest percent correct earned on quizzes taken as well as number of points earned. One teacher notes, “Ms. Dawn Reynolds, who coordinates this program, cheerfully delivers the prizes, shares her enthusiasm for reading, accommodates teachers’ schedule, and never lets us forget to hand in the forms.” Ms. Reynolds works full time, but willingly volunteers time on her days off (every other Friday) to support Highland’s emphasis on early literacy.  Lastly, one Special education teacher states, “Through the years I have observed her putting forth consistent effort to make sure our students with learning disabilities are fully included in school activities.” Highland is fortunate and proud to recognize Ms. Dawn Reynolds as volunteer of the year.
