The Paraprofessionals of the Year is a new award for LCM CISD. Each campus chose one of their paraprofessional staff and the departments, who have fewer paraprofessionals, chose one person as representative for the non-campus groups. Maintenance, Child Nutrition and Transportation each selected an Employee of the Year. These are Kelli Womack, Maintenance; Tammy Ambrose, Transportation and Julie King, Child Nutrition. Campus Paraprofessionals include Debbie Stephenson, Non-Campus; Donna Pitts, MVE; Debbie Harris, MMS; Debra Champine, LCE; Nancy Blanchard, LCI; Linda Riddick, LCJH and Gail Vincent, LCM HS.
