KKBN Goodie Award (4/11/12)

If ever there was a true Goodie deserving of an award, he would be Mr. Michael Woicicki. Mike served as the principal of Black Oak Elementary, Pinecrest School, and Twain Harte Middle School for a decade, prior to his retirement 3 years ago. His passion for helping people was apparent as he worked with the families and staff of the Twain Harte Long Barn School District.

We thought we would really miss him when he retired, but we don’t! He retired and took one year off, but he couldn’t stay away. Last year he returned to volunteer at THMS twice a week, every week, to help my students achieve success in math. He’s been here twice a week ever since! For two years now, he has volunteered 10 hours a week in my classes. He willingly cheers and mentors students on as they practice new math concepts. He works one-on-one with students who have missed a lesson, and he always makes us smile. He will do anything to help a child succeed – and his love of learning is transmitted to everyone at the school. As a teacher and then principal, he has nearly 40 years of valuable experience in education. Mike continues to benefit the lives of the teachers and students of THMS. He is the very definition of a great educator, and an extraordinary Goodie!

Congratulations to this week’s KKBN Goodie Award Winner: Jan Tozier

Reason why you think this person should be nominated for the KKBN Goodie Award Jan and her husband, Jeff, moved to Angels Camp when they retired from Pleasanton, CA. Jan immediately started volunteering at the Angels Camp Library. She comes in with a smile on her face, and is one of those people that you never have to “find” her something to do…She is one busy lady and a real asset to the Angels Camp Library…As you know, with county budgets depleted, most libraries depend upon volunteers to get “going” and their service, hard work, sweat equity, and devotion are “Priceless”. This is why I would like to see Jan Tozier honored as the KKBN GOODIE AWARD RECIPIENT…….

Congratulations to this week’s KKBN Goodie Of The Week Award: Jimmy

Jimmy, who owns Don Pedro Market, never fails to greet every person who walks through the door with a smile and an interest in meeting their needs. Everyone is made to feel like they are familiar face, old friend, and most welcome. Considering the rural location and the proximity to great fishing Jimmy has a knack for making customers feel good.

Jimmy has supported many local students with employment, the local schools, and now seniors have benefitted his generosity. I witnessed this in person while making a purchase one day. A woman inquired if the group of seniors could utilize the parking lot while making a trip to Reno. Jimmy responded immediately without hesitation and assisted her in pointing out the best location to park. Of course there were no fees involved, just warm wishes for a great trip!
