Cheryl Dupuy |
Vidor Middle School principal Nancy Smith nominated Cheryl Dupuy for VMS's Employee of the Month. Cheryl was nominated because "she is Vidor Middle School's cheerleader!" says Smith. Her laughter, enthusiasm, humor and positive attitude impact students and staff. She doesn't seem to have the word "no" in her vocabulary. She volunteers for things from coordinating the school's Relay for Life team to piloting technology programs. She offers help students and colleagues without a second thought and can often be heard saying, "Whatever you need me to do..." Cheryl possesses all the qualities an excellent teacher should have --- student-specific instruction, classroom management, leadership, and above all, a devotion to see every student reach the fullest possible potential.
