Congratulations to our Certified and Classification Employees of the Year at Sawtooth Middle School! School Nurse, Sam Congden and Head Custodian, Kathy Barr.
Nurse Sam goes above and beyond in all aspects of her work. She has revolutionized what a school nurse is defined by. She not only cares for all students, but staff as well. She ensures students feel safe, loved and important.
Kathy tries to fix problems at the moment. She is always heard to respond when needed and tends to the situation immediately. Kathy is a superb custodian and has made a huge difference in our building!


Kiley and Kylie partnered with NJHS to sell raffle tickets with all proceeds to help the pets of the recent Wildfires and California.
