\n<\/strong>Golden Apple Award | March 7, 2016
\n<\/strong>Ms. Linda Brady,\u00a0<\/strong>Educator<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Ms. Linda Brady has been a dedicated employee for the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District for sixteen years\u2014teaching at Nikolaevsk School, Ninilchik School, and currently, Chapman School. \u201cShe is exceptional in her position as a special education teacher at Chapman School and provides the school its cornerstone for building all other programs,\u201d said Conrad Woodhead, principal. \u201cLinda is an active leader on our staff, conducting aide meetings each Monday morning and participating in all of our I-Team and Data Day meetings. This is great, but what makes Linda so special isn\u2019t her willingness to step up whenever she\u2019s needed; what makes her exceptional is her ability to seemingly pull effort out of kids that they never knew they had. The students she works with achieve what was otherwise impossible. Simply put, Linda is good for kids.\u201d

\nLinda is selfless in her devoted stewardship to students. When need presents itself, Linda, and her husband Gary, have housed students, given students rides home, and on occasion, helped them with clothing items. She\u2019s a fan favorite amongst the student body, probably because she\u2019s there whenever they need her. A little known fact about Linda is that she has spent her life savings on her classroom library. We\u2019ve had to give the UPS driver her own parking space, as she never drives by our school without dropping off another scholastic book order box for Linda. Every day, students work in her classroom before and after school. She even eats lunch with kids.
\nLegend has it that Linda does not sleep. When she finally goes home at night, she simply cooks dinner, tucks in her devoted husband Gary, and returns to work. Her colleagues have given up trying to beat her to work. \u201cOn more than several occasions, I\u2019ve woke up to the ding of an email from my phone, only to find that\u2019s it\u2019s another IEP reminder from Linda. Most people are still sleeping at 5:45 a.m. in the morning; she is sending emails,\u201d said Mr. Woodhead. \u201cLinda is modest about her hard work and dedication, and she is deeply appreciated. We recognize Linda for her steadfast dedication to our students, our school, our community, and our district.\u201d
\nThe Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Board of Education is proud to recognize Ms. Linda Brady for her dedication to the students of the school district, past, present, and future.
