"Today, we recognize and celebrate Heather Delis as our December Shining Star.

A shining star is someone who leads by example, someone who is dedicated, and someone who is an exemplar in their field. Heather is all these things and more.

Dedication is a term often used but rarely embodied to the extent that Heather has shown. Day in and day out, she has displayed an unwavering commitment to our school, our students, and our community. She has put in long hours, worked tirelessly, and given selflessly. Her dedication is not just evident in her work, but also in the respect and admiration she receives from her colleagues (both Fairview and Polaris) and her students.

Leadership is another quality that Heather possesses in abundance. She has a unique ability to inspire, motivate and mentor others, to guide them towards achieving their full potential. She doesn't just lead; she empowers. She doesn't just instruct; she inspires. Heather's leadership shines bright, lighting the way for others to follow.

Heather's expertise and understanding in her field are unparalleled. But it's not just about what she knows, it's about how she uses that knowledge to benefit others. She shares her wisdom generously and enriches the minds of her students.

It is fitting that today, we honor Heather Delis as our December Shining Star. Heather, your dedication, leadership, and passion for your subject area have left an indelible mark on the Fairview Park City Schools. You are more than just a shining star, you are a guiding light, and we are grateful for your service.

Congratulations, Heather."
