WALDOBORO — Jennifer Daigle is the recipient of this year’s Horace Mann Mugs and Kisses Award for Medomak Valley High School Support Staff.

"The Educational Technician receiving this award is like a mother, not only to the students in the program where she works, but many other students in the school as well," said a MVHS news release.

She is described as always willing by her colleagues and administrators. When she is asked to do something she readily takes it on with competence, consistency and skill. She  manages MVHS clothing closet, and has taken over the bottle collection and redemption program to benefit Special Olympics, with which she also assists in competition. Additionally, she is involved with the theater program and the track program. 

Daigle does everything she can in the classroom to assist the staff and the students in being their best selves and achieving at high levels. 

"She embodies the MVHS Core Values of respect, responsibility, courage, compassion, fairness and equity and is a role model for all of us," said MVHS. "She is simply THE BEST  - fabulous - kind and thoughtful."
