The Mansfield ISD Heartbeat Team was established to recognize employees who display heart in their lives and inspire other district employees through their actions. Heartbeat Team members will be nominated only by other district employees.

One winner will be selected monthly during the school year from those nominated. Those named to the Heartbeat Team are still eligible for other district honors.

Heartbeat Team

Veronica Sanchez, a Pre-Kindergarten aid at Willie Brown Elementary, was honored with the latest Mansfield ISD Heartbeat Team Award during a surprise visit to her school. Veronica was selected for this District staff recognition award for being a valued resource and eager to help at a moment's notice.

District Superintendent Dr. Bob Morrison, along with Brown Elementary principal Marilyn Varner, surprised Veronica with a brief class disruption this afternoon.

Veronica Sanchez was a Pre-K aid last year but transitioned to a Preschool Programs for Children with Disabilities (PPCD) Paraprofessional this school year. PPCD at Brown Elementary is a Special Education speech program for Pre-K students.

According to the principal, Sanchez does a remarkable job with adding extra time to her schedule to help her teacher and students by going above and beyond her duties.

“She always sees the good in everything and truly doesn't ever show a negative side,” said Marilyn Varner. “She one in a million.”
