Music that Describes Jackie


Jackie Lawson received multiple nominations from friends and family. The following profile contains text from each nomination:

Ms. Lawson is a go-to person in school or in the community when someone needs some nurturing. She gives attention and care to everyone, whether it’s the children at school or people in the community. She volunteers at many places, including Hope Food Pantry, Denton County Friends of the Family, and women's shelters. She’s active in her church by singing in the choir and serving as the new member orientation chair.

Her favorite passion is preparing food for people, especially those living on the street or in motels. She and her husband have a catering service and both often times prepare food for those in need or those who have lost loved ones free of charge. She simply has a heart that is always looking to give and love others.

“We graduated from high school together,” said Tracy Gilbert, a friend. “She actually organizes and connects with our class of Sherman High School 1984 via Facebook whenever there is a death in our class. She attends and/or sends flowers, which is a priceless connection to home and classmates.”

On top of all that she does for her district, Ms. Lawson helps neighboring school districts with fundraisers like LEF. She also created an annual fundraiser titled The Sassernation Foundation INC. where all proceeds are given in scholarships for those that need help the most.

In her free time, you will find her supporting her husband, children and grandchildren, or cheering for the Dallas Cowboys and Mizzou while eating her favorite food: crab legs with extra butter sauce!

“The world is a better place with people like Ms. Lawson,” said David Rylander, a friend.

Mrs. Lawson is not only an amazing administrator but an amazing individual. She is the first person we see when we enter Evers Park Elementary and the last person that we see when we leave. She shares her smile with all the students and the students love and imitate her enchanting and contagious positive personality. She shares her love with all by helping the faculty and students through her "little ways" of doing things: fundraising, cooking and sharing her arts and crafts. For example, she will cook something when we need a pick me up. She helps the parents by listening and trying to help them with their concerns. She is so understanding and patient with our parents that struggle to get here on time for pickup and arrival. She is very resourceful; she knows who can help and as a team thing get done! Her positive attitude and energy are life changing for those of us that have the pleasure of being around Mrs. Lawson, she is a treasure and very deserving of this recognition.
