Today, Fremont RE-2 was proud to celebrate our substitute staff with a Substitute Appreciation Breakfast.
Our substitutes do so much more than “fill in.” Because of them, students keep learning, meals are served, offices keep running, and our schools continue to be supported when our staff and students need it most.
This morning was a small way to say thank you for the flexibility, dedication, and care our substitutes bring to Fremont RE-2 throughout the year. We are grateful for the many ways they step in, show up, and make a difference across our district.
To each of our substitutes: you are valued, you are appreciated, and you are an important part of what makes us ONE.

Showing up every day matters. It matters to our students, our schools, our teams, and the culture we are building together. These staff members are a wonderful example of being rooted in purpose and present with pride.
At Fremont RE-2, every role makes a difference. Whether supporting students in the classroom, keeping our buildings running, helping behind the scenes, or serving our schools in countless other ways, every person’s presence has an impact.

Congratulations to our 2025–2026 212 Impact Award recipient, Jana Benker!
This year, Fremont RE-2 staff submitted an incredible number of 212 nominations, each one recognizing someone who went the extra degree for our students, staff, schools, and community. Every submission tells a story: a story of kindness, dedication, teamwork, quiet leadership, and the everyday moments that make a lasting impact.
The 212 Impact Award is more than a recognition. It is a reminder that the small things matter. The extra effort matters. The way we show up for one another matters. Across our district, staff members are making a difference every single day, often in ways that may not always be seen but are deeply felt.
This year, we are honored to shine a special light on Jana Benker. Jana represents the heart of 212: someone who gives the extra degree, leads with care, and makes a meaningful impact on those around her. Her dedication, work ethic, and commitment to others reflect the very best of Fremont RE-2.
While today we celebrate Jana, we also celebrate every staff member who was nominated, every person who took the time to recognize a colleague, and every employee who continues to pour into our schools with purpose and pride.
At Fremont RE-2, we are better together. We are stronger together. We are ONE — ONE mission, ONE team, ONE future.
Congratulations, Jana, and thank you to all Fremont RE-2 staff for the difference you make every day. That is the power of 212.
