School District announces February Employees of
the Month |
March 4, 2016 |
Certified Employee of the Month, Janet
Gause
Janet Gause is Boundary County School District’s
February Employee of the Month. Janet has worked
for the school district for 22 years. She spends
most of her day teaching at Mount Hall
Elementary but also spends some time in all our
schools. In addition to teaching, Janet works
part-time with our school psychologist; is our
liaison with the BoCo Backpack program; spreads
sunshine throughout Mount Hall by overseeing the
Sunshine Fund; and always volunteers to help
students and staff in any way she can.
Janet is married to her husband, Dave. They have
been married for 35 years. Together they have
three children: Colin, Brennan, and Larkin, and
two daughter-in-laws: Julie and Kate. In her
spare time, Janet enjoys spending time with her
family, especially her time with her
granddaughter, Natalie. Janet is anxiously
awaiting the arrival of their newest grandbaby
coming this March.
Janet is an incredible teacher, but more
importantly an incredible person. She dedicates
so much of her time to the education and
well-being of her students. Anyone who knows
Janet knows that she has a heart of gold, and
she is an advocate for her students. Janet’s
husband, Dave, says that, “Janet sees her
relationships with students as lasting
relationships. They (students) aren’t just here
and gone. Her students come before everything
else. If extra time takes place, they are the
extra time.” The students and staff adore her. A
Mount Hall student, Owen K said, “He likes Mrs.
Gause because she always helps him. She’s kind.
She also would be very productive, and safe, and
civil. She would be all of these actually.” All
students and staff would agree that Janet Gause
is a worthy recipient of this honor. I have
appreciated my time working with Janet. She is a
tremendous asset to Mount Hall Elementary and
Boundary County School District. Thank you,
Janet for all that you do.

Classified Employee of the Month, Daryl
Chapman
Bonners
Ferry High School would like to recognize Daryl
Chapman as the Boundary County School District
Classified Employee of the month for February
2016.
Daryl is originally from Bonners Ferry,
graduating from BFHS in 1983. He loves to hunt,
fish, and everything North Idaho offers. After
high school, he traveled much of the country
working on oil rigs. He then found himself in
Oklahoma running his own floor cleaning
business. No wonder BFHS floors look so good!
Daryl came back to Bonners Ferry to meet up with
his high school sweetheart Teresa. Daryl has
been working for the district two and one half
years. We have been lucky enough to have him as
the Head Custodian at the high school for a year
now.
His favorite thing about working at the high
school is interacting with the students and
staff. He also likes the many challenges
maintaining a building presents. When asked the
one thing he would want our students to know he
said “work hard and never give up."
BFHS is lucky to have Daryl. If there is
something that needs to be done I don’t have to
worry, Daryl is on it. He is a team player and a
pleasure to work with. Thank you Daryl for
everything you do for BFHS.
