If you don't like the weather in Kansas, just wait five minutes. Mark Twain may or may not have uttered some variance of that expression, but Holy Family School Principal Debbie Hagans definitely lives it. Hagans recently earned $500 as the January winner of Eagle Media's School Hero Contest, presented by OPI & Golden Belt Printing.

"Mrs. Hagans is always going above and beyond for all students, from standing outside in the freezing cold, to rain, and even 110 degrees out just to greet each student every day, and welcome them with a fist bump and wish them a great day," said Hagans' nominator. "She does a whole lot for the students, and we think she deserves to be recognized for all she does for our families."

The School Hero Contest is for any school employee who goes above and beyond in his or her job. Administrators, teachers, paras, coaches, maintenance staff, cafeteria workers, and more are all eligible. A new School Hero will be selected on the fourth Tuesday of each month, and that hero will be recognized with $500 in prize money.

The Nominate a School Hero contest is presented by OPI and Golden Belt Printing. Want to recognize someone at your school? Head to the contest page at GreatBendPost.com. and help 100.7 Eagle Country celebrate our School Heroes.
