Music that Describes Jeanna
Jeanna Plumly was nominated by her assistant principal, Jeni Hopkins.
Jefferson Elementary Center is located in the middle of a rough area. Students face challenging situations on a daily basis, and many of them live with guardians, grandparents, or in foster care. Fortunately, Ms. Plumly has made a drastic impact in the BD classroom. Not only are her students' behavioral needs met, but academically, they are succeeding above expectations. She is an advocate for her students, and she will stand up for their rights and assist them in any way that she can. She provides resources for the parents of her students and points them in the right direction for help.
Ms. Plumly took over the school food pantry last year with her students. They prepare bags of food to be sent home with students on Fridays for the weekends. She also started the Pay It Forward program, where the students prepare an entire meal's worth of ingredients and items to be sent home to families in need. If a family doesn't need the food, they can pass it on. Ms. Plumly has received grants for the food pantry to keep it stocked.
Ms. Plumly is also a vital part of the school leadership team. She is currently working on her Masters in Educational Leadership in hopes of becoming an administrator. She offers positive insights for the school and its culture. Ms. Plumly attends every school event and often volunteers.
Overall, the work Ms. Plumly does at school with her students and the staff is amazing, and her commitment to the job is far above expectations. She's doing it all while helping her son battle cancer. Her son was diagnosed last year, and she has been in and out of school to accompany him to treatment and visits with the doctor. At school, however, she never misses a beat. She is in constant contact with her classroom, maintaining IEP's , SAT meetings, and the rest of her job duties. She participates with the students, even while she is out of the building.
"Jeanna is a wonderful person who loves her family and her students. She deserves this award and many others for her commitment, her passion, and her dedication to the field," said Hopkins.

Excellent teacher and I had the opportunity to work at the same school with her many years ago. Such an asset to a school, and the children and parents that she works with. Not only that, but she also does many things to help those in her community. Well deserved for her to be honored for the person that she has become, and exhibits to all those around her. She is an excellent example of what others should try to achieve.
Jeanna is a pleasure to work with. She is kind, reliable, compassionate, a hard worker and an excellent educator.

Jeanna Plumly can be described as Super Woman! Her strength, character, devotion to family and job sets her above the average. Her dedication to serving her students and community while caring for her son who is battling cancer, makes me want to be a better person; a better educator; a better citizen. Wood County Schools and our community are blessed to have such a compassionate caregiver. She is not only meeting the needs of the students, she is setting an example for them and all of us!

I agree with Jeni Hopkins. I have worked in Jeanna's class as a substitute aide. I have to say that she has the program in the county. I don't know how she does it. But she doesn't give up. She really does love her students and it shows. She is just a wonderful person all the way. Congratulations Jeanna ! So happy for you!
She is the most amazing teacher. She helped my son so much when he was there and she still checks on him. Love her.
Terrific teacher and co-worker! She makes a difference all around.
Jeanna is such a wonderful colleague and friend. She does all she can to support her staff and students. I have learned so much from her in my first few years of teaching that most teachers don’t get the benefit of having. It’s obvious the strength she has and the love she has for her students and friends.
Congratulations Jeanna. Awesome job.
