We are thrilled to announce that our 2023 winner of the Spirit of Stanley award is Leneta Jones!
A member of the Stanley faculty since the early years, Leneta has done it all, from teaching a K-1-2 classroom to now serving as a K-5 learning resource teacher and reading specialist. She has been a consistent, comforting, solid and strong rock in our community for a long time and never asks for recognition or accolades. She loves us all unconditionally and with a huge heart.
According to a former Stanley parent, "Leneta embodies the Stanley philosophy. Her patience, creativity, compassion, dedication, and realistic approach to educating children has made a difference in so many lives. The children she has taught, the parents she has educated alongside the children, and the colleagues she has mentored -- this list is long."
