National Nurse and Teacher Appreciation

IU Health University Health

 

"What stands out most is her passion. The way she talks about her patients, the stories she shares, and the pride she takes in even the smallest moments of progress all show that nursing isn’t just her job, it’s who she is. She advocates fiercely, listens fully, and shows up with her whole heart every single day."

 

"Amber gives everything she has to the children she serves. Recognizing her extraordinary compassion, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment would be a meaningful way to honor the impact she makes every single day." 

Southport High School

 

"Danielle is a  friend and teacher at Southport High School. She has always put her students first and works hard to make every student feel special. She is very active in her community and has worked alongside the Chin Community center helping to host events and  collect donations for students and families she has taught. She has also hosted multiple foreign exchange students in her home over the years while bringing them with her to Southport High School to experience American high school."

Jeffersonville High School

 

"Danny realized the long term impact he could have on students. He started a strength and conditioning course at his school with only 40 students where he taught them to push themselves, not just physically, but also mentally and in their aspirations. Through the class he incorporated taking the fortitude gained to seek out opportunities outside of the classroom and apply that strength to seek openings into their futures in trades, military, or college."

Rejuvenate Muncie

 

"Dominyse cares for all of her patients and will run to aide anyone who is in need. Dominyse has truly found her calling, and I see why she graduated at the top of her class with honors."

Ascension St. Vincent

 

"Kiera approaches each situation with patience, empathy, and professionalism, even in high-pressure environments. She advocates fiercely for her patients, supports families during vulnerable moments, and carries herself with grace and integrity at all times."

Riley Hospital for Children

 

"As health care continues to evolve and is constantly changing, Lynn provides a level of continuity and stability that comes from her decades of experience and wisdom serving patients at Riley Hospital for Children."

Deaconess Clinic

 

"Every day, she wakes up determined to provide for her family while giving her patients the highest level of care. Her loyalty to her employer and the physicians she supports is matched only by her commitment to the Evansville community."

Central Elementary School

 

"Earlier through this current school year, her mother had only fallen ill, and she took the time to be an aid to her mother while creating lesson plans for her substitute teacher with certain curriculum she wanted her students to be equipped with, and when she returned, she jumped in and hasn’t missed a beat."

 

"Even after more than 20 years of teaching, Mrs. Newcomer still walks into her classroom with the same passion and heart she had on day one. Her light never fades. She brings stability, joy, and a sense of belonging to every student who crosses her path. And what amazes me most is that she remembers all of them. She cares deeply, intentionally, and genuinely and her former students absolutely remember and appreciate the impact she has had on their lives."
