Three receive November ‘You Inspire Me’ honors

Roosevelt Elementary student Talina LeClair was the student recipient of the district’s new You Inspire Me project for the month of November. Roosevelt Principal Ronda Merrifield surprised her during one of her classes to present her with the honor.

Union teacher Sandy Hasenfratz was the certified selection this month. Union principal Dr. Trina Resler presented her with the award.

The support personnel recipient was Darren Hadley, Maintenance employee. Maintenance Director Tony Smith presented him with the special honor.

The Ponca City Public Schools “You Inspire Me” project was created to recognize dedicated students and employees who continue to motivate and make a difference on a regular basis. Each month, the district surprises one student, one certified employee, and one support employee to let them know how they are an inspiration to Ponca City Public Schools.
