Jessica Zugel was nominated by her principal, Karen Houck.

Ms. Zugel is a one in a million servant to her school. She is exceptional in so many ways, but her leadership abilities and attitude of stewardship are what makes her a LiifeChanger. Her accomplishments include a pumpkin patch and school garden, holiday help for struggling families, movie night, and an enormous end of the year carnival with music, games, pony rides, and emergency response workers (helicopter, fire truck, ambulance, and multiple police patrol vehicles). She's kind, caring, selfless, and responds to anyone in need in an instant. She even became a substitute teacher when there was a shortgage.

"Our school community is described as loving thanks to the presence of Ms. Zugel.  Every event she has planned has themes of equity and empathy, which connects us a community that loves our students," Houck said.
