Featured Face Each month we highlight one person associated with CNS. It might be a child on service, a nurse, a board member, or one of the administrative staff in the office. Below is this month's honoree. If you wish to see their story, or read about past winners, please click on the name.
The “Employee of the Month” program was established to acknowledge those individuals who demonstrate exceptional work performance and display high regard for CNS and the families we serve. In 2008 and again in 2010, we used our Core Values as a guide in choosing an employee that exemplifies all our core values while focusing on one in particular. In 2009 our selection was based on another set of values. Please join us in recognizing this months employee for a “job well done!”
The Robert W. Vial Employee of the Year Award is presented annually to an employee who has been a recipient of the Employee of the Month award, and demonstrated commitment to the organization through leadership and dedication to their work. The winner is recognized with a plaque that will hang in the office plus a cash gift of $250.00.This award was developed in memory of an original founder and board member, Robert “Bob” Vial.
Tribute In Memory of Jarred Schaper
Jarred loved the time he spent at school and over the years had developed close friendships with some of his classmates. When he was sick and unable to attend school there was always excitement in the air upon his return. When the students at Raleigh Park Elementary heard of Jarred’s passing they began writing letters and creating pictures for the Schaper family and placed them on Jarred’s desk and wheelchair throughout the week.
Many of Jarred’s classmates spoke of Jarred’s amazing smile that was directed to all, unconditionally. So while we are saddened by his passing, we are certain that Jarred is running, jumping, skipping...and undoubtedly smiling. Jared was selected as our featured face in September 2008.

Please
join us in sending prayers of comfort and peace to Jarred Schaper and
his family. Jarred passed away on Saturday, March 14th. Jarred was born
on November 29, 1999 with an infectious smile and eyes that could melt
your heart. Like most young boys, he was a bit of a prankster and loved
to tease. His nurses, Anne, Lynell, Maria and Donna were often on the
receiving end of his shenanigans and it was during these special moments
with Jarred that they developed a perpetual friendship built from love,
devotion and respect.
Anne
Pierce had been a “Jarred nurse” for more than 8 years and when she
heard that he had passed away felt a calling to let his classmates know
how much they had impacted his life. She spent time on Tuesday morning
with the students and was moved by the outpouring of love and support.
Jarred’s friend Kevin drew a picture of Jarred with wings, standing
above the clouds, and calling down to his friend below saying “Kevin...I
can walk!”
