February 13, 2023 Board of Education Recognition: Andrew Wessel and Christina Mills
Lansing USD469 would like to congratulate Lansing High School student Andrew Wessel for being our February Board of Education Student of the Month and Christina Mills for being our Staff Member of the Month!
Andrew was chosen for being an outstanding peer mentor and going above and beyond to help others.
"Andrew is a peer mentor in my Unified PE class, and he has gone above and beyond to make all kids feel important and include all in what is going on in the class. We have a student who is wheelchair bound, and Andrew partnered with him to participate in the 12-minute run and pushed him during the shuttle run. Both activities are required tests for PE students, and Andrew went above what was asked of him to make sure the student had the opportunity to participate. When testing was done, Andrew continued to push this student around and befriend the student."
Third-grade teacher, Mrs. Mills, was selected "for going above and beyond every day. She never stops working after school is over and is always taking parents' emails and phone calls at all times a day and not complaining about it. She is an excellent leader in our district and needs to be recognized for it."
