The North Platte Public Schools Foundation in conjunction with North Platte Public Schools is excited to announce that Jami Allen is being honored as the NPPS Bulldog Staff member of the month for May.

She teaches dual credit English and junior English at North Platte High School.

Jami is originally from Bartley, Nebraska, and graduated in 2000 from Twin Valley High School. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Language Arts Education 7-12 from the University of Nebraska at Kearney, followed by her Master of Arts in English from Fort Hays State University. She is currently pursuing her Educational Doctorate with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Jami says, “The mission of our school is to prepare students to be career and college-ready; since my courses focus on effective communication on multiple levels (writing, speaking, and listening), they benefit students at any level with whatever course their lives might take. I believe it is important students learn for understanding and to improve their quality of life as well as the lives of those around them”

She was nominated by Scott Siegel, NPHS Principal who said that Jami is a school leader and goes the extra mile to help students learn.

Winners are rewarded with a gift basket, balloons and a gift card to the Bulldog store at NPHS, provided by the Foundation, gifts from our monthly business sponsor and a flower bouquet from Prairie Friends and Flowers.

The North Platte Public Schools Foundation is facilitating the program and takes nominations from principals and administration.  Staff members are awarded monthly throughout the school year and will be recognized at the end of the year Education After Hours.   Business sponsors are being sought for the 2019-2020 school year.  For more information, contact the North Platte Public Schools Foundation at 696-3325.
