The Nebraska School Activities Association is proud to recognize Danielle Reader of Kimball Public Schools as this week’s Above and Beyond Award nominee. Mrs. Reader has gone above and beyond in her role as 7-12 Principal at Kimball Public Schools. Over the past few years, she has stepped up in countless ways to support both students and staff. Whether it’s assisting teachers with discipline, covering classes, or meeting with students before and after school to provide extra help in math, Mrs. Reader consistently prioritizes the needs of her students. When the school’s Guidance Counselor was out on maternity leave earlier this year, she seamlessly took on most of those responsibilities in addition to her own, without complaint.
Mrs. Reader exemplifies the spirit of the Above and Beyond Award. Her tireless work ethic, selflessness, and unwavering dedication to students, staff, and the Kimball community make her an outstanding role model. She consistently demonstrates that leadership is about service, empathy, and putting others first, leaving a lasting positive impact on everyone she encounters.
