Each year, the Weatherford Educational Support Staff Association (WESA) honors an outstanding administrator and member of the year.  WESA is proud to announce the 2005 Administrator of the Year as Andy Pool and the 2005 WESA Member of the Year as Eloise O’Donald. 

Mr. Pool is the assistant principal at Juan Seguin Elementary School.  He has worked with the WISD for 7 years and as a total of 15 years in the educational field.  Previously, Mr. Pool was a teacher and assistant principal of the Santo and Mineral Wells ISD. 

Mrs. O’Donald is the secretary for the director of assessment and staff development.  She has worked for the WISD for a total of 15 years and is a valued part of the district.  Additionally, she has been an active member of WESA and the Texas Educational Support Staff Association (TESA) for 15 years.  Before moving to the curriculum and instruction department, Mrs. O'Donald worked in the community education office.

When asked by WESA President, Lydia Simmons, why these two were chosen for these honors she stated, "Both recipients are extremely deserving of this honor.  Mr. Pool is a man of his word and is always a calming factor.  Mrs. O'Donald is always willing to volunteer on a WESA committee or project and uses her talent for publishing to serve on the TESA magazine committee."

Both awardees will be submitted to TESA for another chance to be honored at the state level during the TESA Summer Work Conference.

Congratulations to both for this well-deserved recognition!
