Staff Members Applauded as Employees of the Year

Nicole Baxin-Galetta from SES is honored as a Teacher of the Year.

Individualized shirts with award logos, framed certificates and personalized cookies awaited 67 staff members for the Employees of the Year celebration at Creekside Success Center May 26. The honoree list included Teachers of the Year; Support Stars, which include roles such as custodians, paraprofessionals and secretaries; and Service Stars, which represent positions such as nurses and counselors.

District leaders joined in the festivities to share remarks from each honoree’s nomination, and John Graham, president of the board of education, congratulated the award recipients. “You are truly representative of all the outstanding employees we have in this district,” he shared. “I know for everyone who received an award, there are 10-20 people behind you achieving the same miraculous things you all are … This place wouldn’t run without you all doing what you do.”
