Mrs. Cox is an extraordinary woman, always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. The Lynwood Unfied School is lucky to have her. So many young lives are going to benefit from her giving, selfless heart.

I agree wholeheartedly with the flyer that was placed in my mailbox and the announcement I heard over the PA system this morning. In addition to supporting students, Mrs. Cox is open and available to lend an ear to staff whenever the need arises. THANK YOU!!

Erica is one of the most caring and giving people I know. I can’t think of a time when we’ve been out, and she hasn’t thought about her students. Her commitment is unmatched. She has truly earned this nomination.
