She was just named the latest recipient of the Kiss Country Caught in the Act Award and for so many great reasons.

Of course, we would have never known about these things if it weren't for her friend, Kim Spence, who wrote Joni's nomination letter and spelled out just how amazing this lady is.

It's obvious Joni loves her job and all the kids who come with it, and she's not afraid to show these little ones just what they mean to her.

Take a look at the letter we got from Kim about Joni and you'll see exactly what we mean.

Let me just start by saying - to know her is to love her. Joni Aulds is a 4th grade ELA teacher at my daughters school. She taught my son in 4th grade and now has my daughter in her class as well as her cheer coach. When Covid began our schools extra activities such as cheer halted just like everything else in the world. Once things started calming down the kids had no activities. Joni is the one who took the initiative to get Cheer back in our school and is hands down the best cheer coach but that’s not her only title. Many of us, cheer moms, would agree she also holds the title as “second mom” to these girls. She treats EVERY SINGLE ONE of them just like her own. She loves them and she shows them she loves them. She pushes them to do their best when needed but she also gives them TLC when needed. She simply just has “that touch.” Joni also started a “National Honor Society” this year for our 4th and 5th graders which is something our elementary school has never had. She simply sees a need for these babies and she goes after it and doesn’t stop until she has accomplished it. She is not only a teacher, cheer coach, and second mom but she is also an amazing friend, one of the best friends you could ever have. She simply wants the best for these kids and strives to give them every opportunity that she can. She is their voice and the best one they could have. We just love her!

Joni Aulds, because you've been 'Caught in the Act' the gang at Silver Star Smokehouse have a $100 Gift Certificate for you to come have dinner.

Take a listen to the phone call we made to Joni to let her know that she was this week's Caught In The Act Award recipient.
