At the November Sand Springs Board of Education meeting, the board presented the Sandite Coin of Excellence to Limestone Technology Academy’s Barbie Jackson. Superintendent Sherry Durkee nominated Ms. Jackson for her outstanding service to Sand Springs Public Schools.
In her nomination form, Supt. Durkee describes Ms. Jackson as “a consistent warrior for students in our district” who always provides her personal best. Ms. Jackson constantly grows her own knowledge and brings new and innovative resources to her classroom. Recently, Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance presented Ms. Jackson with the Siegfried STEM Innovator Award. As the recipient of both the Elementary School Educator Award AND the Overall Vision Award, she will receive $5,000 in grants. She plans to use those funds for 3D printers and hands-on materials for the STEAM Lab at Limestone Technology Academy, as well as attending NASA educator professional development.
Thank you to Ms. Jackson for your wholehearted commitment to our students, district, and community. We are proud and grateful to call you a Sandite!
