(Le Mars) — The Le Mars Community School District honored a Middle School
Instructional aide as its December “Employee of the Month”. Karen Pitts has
worked with the Le Mars Community school district for the past 20 years. Middle
School principal Steve Shanks submitted the nomination of Pitts, saying she is
an incredibly generous person. Karen Pitts has helped many students, not just
those with academic help, but also with meals, clothing, and school supplies.
She has a soft heart for kids who are sad, lonely, or in trouble for one thing
or another. If you were to find the most needy students in our building,
chances are Karen Pitts has found them too, and is helping them in some private
way. She is a great employee…hardworking and always putting the needs of the
kids first. We are blessed to have Karen Pitts working at the Le Mars Community
Middle School. Our congratulations go to Karen Pitts of the Le Mars Middle
School for being honored as this month’s “employee of the month”.
