Honoring Years of Service Across FirstLine

On Monday, December 1, 2025, we proudly celebrated our FirstLine Years of Service Ceremony, honoring the dedication and commitment of our team across the network. Our Director of Culture, Kristin Rodriguez, got the crowd up and moving with a FirstLine Family Feud Game Show before FirstLiners were recognized for reaching 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, and, for the very first time, 25 years of service.

We are especially honored to celebrate Kimberly Baylor and Jacques Richardson of Samuel J. Green, who each reached an incredible 25-year milestone with ¶¶ÒõMAX. Their leadership, consistency, and impact on generations of students exemplify what deep commitment to our community looks like.

For this achievement, Kimberly and Jacques were presented with a 25 year recognition pin, a custom engraved vase, and lifetime tickets to An Edible Evening!

To all of our honorees: thank you for the passion, care, and excellence you bring to our schools year after year.Ìý
