Ms. Canestra Recognized as FCPS CARES of the Month Recipient!
September 2023 Region 5 Recipient
Congratulations to Ms. Jann Canestra on her recognition as the September 2023 FCPS CARES Region 5 Recipient of the Month, presented by the FCPS Department of Human Resources.
The FCPS CARES Program allows parents, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others and show they care. We invite you to submit your story below so we can all acknowledge the good work of FCPS employees.
Below is the write-up submitted by Mr. Ben Chiet, an FCPS colleague.
Jann has been an incredible force within FCPS over the past several years that I have known and worked with her. There are a number of things Jann has contributed to FCPS that have not only benefitted the school in which she works but have impacted school communities around FCPS. Jann has secured a number of business partnerships and donations not just for Cub Run but many other schools around FCPS. These business partnerships and donations have supported administrations' efforts to provide treats for their staff and resources for their community and have helped families put food on the table. Jann has supported Outdoor Learning across a few schools she has worked at, enhancing the curriculum through opportunities where students get their hands dirty within the science curriculum around the school grounds, creating unforgettable learning experiences for students. Jann has also been the go-to person who supports students throughout the building in which she serves with various needs, whether it is a student requiring a movement break, extra social-emotional support, or requiring a unique job to make a student feel special and have an adult they have a connection with at school. Jann continues this work across multiple schools in FCPS not just benefitting her immediate school but multiple communities within FCPS. Jann's work has been invaluable to the families, students, teachers and administrators she has worked with, and she is above and beyond deserving of an FCPS Cares recognition. Thank you, Jann!
