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.
