During the final week of April/first week of May, Azle ISD surprised 38 employees and one special community member with "More Cowbell" awards for the spring semester. Awards were presented to staff (and community) members whose positive energy and engagement are contagious.
"More Cowbell" comes from a 2000 Saturday Night Live skit, and while the inspiration is fun, it shows how energy, excitement, and going above and beyond in our roles can truly make a difference.
