Herndon ES Library Assistant Joanne Lyons
Recognized in FCPS CARES July/August 2024
 Joanne Lyons received an FCPS CARES for July/August 2024. See the FCPS CARES submission below:
Mrs. Lyons works as an IA in the library at Herndon ES. She truly exemplifies what it means to CARE about her students! Each day, she greets all with loving smiles and hugs. Her face lights up at the sight of our Herndon Bees. When a student needs a little extra TLC - she’s there to comfort and encourage with love. Mrs. Lyons has also been known to supply students with what they need to start the year off right- shiny new backpacks and shoes included. She spends many weekends cheering students on at soccer games when parents can’t make it due to work obligations. Her selfless and supportive nature are so wonderful and I, among many others, feel she deserves recognition! HES is so lucky to have her. We love you Mrs. Lyons!
