Nominate a School Employee
Celebrating the people who make schools work

Nominate a School Employee

Great schools are built by more than buildings, budgets and policies. They are built by people.

Every month, Lady Budgetdown will recognize one Michigan public school employee who has made a difference for students, families, coworkers or their school community.

This recognition is for the people behind Michigan's public schools.

This is not just for teachers. Nominees can include teachers, paraprofessionals, secretaries, custodians, bus drivers, food service employees, counselors, support staff and other employees of Michigan public school districts.

Three simple steps

How It Works

01

Nominate someone who deserves recognition

Tell Lady B who they are, where they work and, most importantly, what they have done that deserves to be recognized.

02

Tell their story

Maybe they went above and beyond for a student. Maybe they quietly keep an entire building running. Maybe they made a difficult year easier for a family. Big or small, tell Lady B why this person matters.

03

One employee is recognized each month

Lady B will select one monthly honoree and share their story, with permission, so Michigan can celebrate some of the people doing good work inside our public schools.

Monthly Honoree
$50 Gift Card

Each month's selected school employee will receive a $50 digital gift card as a small thank-you for the work they do.

Eligibility & nomination rules

Who Can Be Nominated?

Employees of Michigan public school districts are eligible. Charter and private school employees are not included in this program.

Anyone may submit a nomination. The same employee may be nominated by multiple people, but each person should submit only one nomination for that employee.

Know someone who deserves a little recognition?

Tell Lady B their story.

It doesn't have to be something extraordinary. Sometimes the people who make the biggest difference are the ones quietly showing up every day.
