Jane Lloyd - KPS
For 23 years Jane Lloyd has been a most loyal employee and supporter of the Kalamazoo Public Schools and its students, in most recent years as the assistant to the Director of Communications within the District. In her role she has consistently strived to showcase the exceptional talent of KPS students and staff, highlighting all of the examples of “every student, every opportunity, every time.” In that framework, she has consistently reported and photographed the programs, events and services that KCIS and its partners bring to students in their buildings. She has been behind the scenes, literally behind the camera, shining the spotlight, capturing the successes and great work of many of our community partners as they share their expertise with children and youth in KPS.
Jane demonstrates her caring for students and her respect for the role of KCIS by ensuring that “prime real estate” space in the KPS Excelsior is available for promoting monthly First Fridays requests for basic needs fostering that KCIS vision---an engaged community where all children fulfill their promise. Through her collaboration with KCIS, parents and other members of the community learn about the other needs that students have and how community organizations and individual volunteers have stepped up to meet them. If a picture is worth a thousand words, Jane Lloyd is responsible for millions.
Jane always signs off on her emails to KCIS staff, “…thanks for all that you do for the KPS children.” No - thank YOU, Jane, for all that you’ve done to advocate on behalf of students and to capture their success. We will miss you.
Jane Lloyd, we thank you for helping students stay in school and succeed in life.
