Bend-La Pine Schools names La Pine’s Tiffany Schreiber Support Staff Member of the Year

La PINE, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Bend-La Pine Schools has presented its Excellence in Education Award to Tiffany Schreiber, an Inclusion Educational Assistant at La Pine Middle School. As a classified employee, Schreiber is the district’s Support Staff Member of the Year.

Superintendent Steven Cook, Deputy Superintendent Lisa Birk and other district administrators, along with School Board Director Shirley Olson and members of Miller’s family, celebrated her during a surprise school visit Tuesday afternoon. Representatives of Mid Oregon Credit Union presented the school with a $500 check in honor of the recognition.

“Tiffany’s energy is both infectious and inspiring,” Dr. Cook said. “Her laughter and smile light up the room, creating a space where students feel valued and supported. Whether guiding a lesson or facilitating an engaging activity, her passion for supporting students shines through in everything she does.”

In her eighth year at La Pine Middle School, Schreiber’s influence extends far beyond the classroom. She is a natural leader who leads by example and cultivates a sense of connection among the team. From sharing resources to organizing weekly team lunches, she builds camaraderie and contributes to a positive school culture. 

“Tiffany treats every student and family with respect and dignity, taking the time to understand their individual educational, social, and emotional needs,” La Pine Middle School Principal Brian Barringer said. “Over the years, she has built meaningful, trusting relationships with families through her care and professionalism.”
