The Kent School District honored its 11 Employees of the Year at the May 25 School Board Meeting.

Employee of the Year winners exemplify the Kent School District’s mission of successfully preparing all students for their futures and they provide unique and valuable contributions to the KSD community.

• Michael Andrews, safety officer at Cedar Heights Middle

• Lynnette Christie, library paraeducator at Sawyer Woods Elementary
