In a release, Citizens Bank said Conyers is dedicated and passionate about her work and is always enthusiastic about teaching and Sulphur Rock Elementary.

Fellow staff said:

• “Mrs. Conyers is an amazing STEAM teacher. She is always excited to teach the students about science concepts and does numerous fun activities. She has been known to teach me a thing or two! LeeAnn is always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.”
• “LeeAnn loves her students and works hard every day. She also takes on extra work around the school that we take for granted.”
• “LeeAnn is always willing to help anyone whenever she has a spare minute. Whether it’s a bathroom break, covering a class for a meeting, covering a duty, or just stepping in to help with a situation.”
• “LeeAnn runs the after-school program, she is passionate about what she teaches, she has outstanding communication with staff and will do anything for the school.”

Since 2012, Citizens Bank and the Batesville School District have recognized staff members who go “above and beyond” to realize the district’s mission to empower today’s students for tomorrow’s challenges. Staff in all schools and departments throughout the district nominate award recipients, who receive a Certificate of Excellence, a $25 gift card, and a 16-ounce insulated cup from Citizens Bank. The award is presented at the Batesville School Board meeting each month.
