Winter, spring, summer or fall---all we have to do is call, and she’ll be there…. Judy D’Arcangelis is there for the KPS-KCIS partnership because “she gets it”. She is very sensitive to the needs of the whole child and works extremely hard with KCIS to ensure that those needs can be addressed. KCIS has had the privilege of working with Judy year-round for four years and we have seen her wear many hats with ease---instructional leader, supervisor, facilities manager, juggler, alarm technician, food service worker, transportation engineer and more. All of these roles she plays with children in mind---practicing her own version of the golden rule---treat others’ children as you want your own child to be treated. Judy understands about return on investment---spend the extra five minutes acknowledging the value of a new partner and you’ll get back many hours of quality service for your building. It is easy to think of King-Westwood when a new partner calls and wants to contribute a service to the schools---there is no doubt that Judy will assure that they are welcomed to her building and acknowledged fully for their service to her students.

Judy D'Arcangelis, congratulations on your 2008 Champ Award!
