September's Red Apple Awards at TJHS honor two standout staff members: geography teacher Mrs. Amber McLean and paraprofessional Ms. Nicole Kee, both celebrated for their dedication to students and positive contributions to the school community.

Mrs. McLean is known for sparking curiosity in her geography classes and inspiring students with her engaging approach to learning. One of her cherished memories includes a student describing her as the class’s very own "Ms. Frizzle," a reference to the beloved teacher from The Magic School Bus. Alongside teaching, Mrs. McLean actively supports Student Council, bringing a positive and encouraging presence to both students and colleagues daily.

Ms. Kee, a paraprofessional at TJHS, is equally appreciated for her patience and eagerness to help. Known for her one-on-one work with students, Ms. Kee’s supportive approach is described as "contagious," motivating others to reach their goals, both large and small. Her favorite moments include stepping into classrooms where students are excited to see her and ready to learn.
