"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." - Walt Disney
Congratulations to Hunter Noblit, Maintenance Team, for receiving the District Attitude Award!
His nominator, Mr. Blake Andrews, GHS Cross Country Coach wrote, “I would like to nominate Hunter Noblit for the District Attitude Award for his immense contributions to the Goddard High School Cross Country Program. Hunter has gone above and beyond his duties as a maintenance worker and has taken extra time out of his work week to mow out our very own 5K Cross Country course to run on campus!
Having our own 5k cross-country course on campus has been a dream come true for our athletes and coaches. This accomplishment not only provides a dedicated space for practice but also significantly enhances the training experience for our students. His efforts to maintain and mow the course each week have played a crucial role in preparing our team for our season.
Hunter is balancing his responsibilities with the maintenance department and committing his time to ensure our course is in top condition. Hunter exemplifies a level of dedication and teamwork that goes above and beyond what is expected of him. His willingness to take on this task, despite his busy schedule, reflects the positive attitude and commitment that not only benefits the cross-country program, but is a great example for all staff and students.
People like Hunter are the reason why I love working at Goddard Public Schools. He has helped make my dream a reality. His hard work and attitude are not only appreciated but truly inspire all of us to strive for excellence. Thanks to his efforts, our cross-country team now has a fantastic place to train, which will undoubtedly contribute to our success.
On behalf of everyone on the Goddard High School Cross Country team, thank you to Hunter for his outstanding service and dedication. His contributions make a significant difference, and we are grateful for his ongoing support.
This dedication is not just noticed by myself, but also the athletes as stated below:
#1 “Running on the campus course is a pleasure. It’s great for me to get ready for cross country and I enjoy it a lot. It never gets old and I always enjoy running on it. Thank you.”
#2 “Running on the course provided a nice change of pace from the trails and is easy to track our mileage. It has been a great tool that we have been able to use every week.”
#3 “No one should be expected to put that much work in for such a small group of people. People like him go above and beyond out of principle. I don’t think there are proper words to thank Hunter for such a commitment of his work and time. The course has been amazing to run on! Thank you, Hunter!”
#4 “I am extraordinarily thankful for Hunter, and how he puts in the work so we can run at the school. We are super luck that he is willing to make the track for us. Thank you, Hunter!”
