This is the final week of the DLE grand opening sale!
Volunteer of the Year - Leidimar Nemec
Congratulations to Leonetti's Volunteer of the Year, Leidimar Nemec!
Leidimar is an amazing volunteer who comes up to the school every single week to help the front office staff and to help in the Level Library. She has almost single-handedly done all of the laminating and cutting for teachers this year and never asks for help or complains. In addition to laminating every week, she also re-shelves and organizes all of the Level Library books and helps with inventory when new books come in.
She is also one of the first to sign up when help is needed with special projects.
Congratulations Leidimar and thank you for all you do for our school!
