| Paraeducator of the Year Maria Bowers |
DERBY - The Derby
Public Schools has selected Maria Bowers as District Paraeducator of the
Year.
The
Connecticut State Department of Education and the School Paraprofessional Advisory Council
has established the Anne Marie Murphy Paraeducator of the Year Program to
recognize the important role of the Paraeducator in supporting student achievement.
The award is named in honor of Anne Marie
Murphy, a Paraeducator who was killed in the Sandy Hook shooting.
Bowers
has been a Paraeducator at Irving School in Derby for more than six years. She has been chosen to receive this award
because she has demonstrated excellent skill and dedication to the students,
teachers, administrators, co-workers and parents.
Bowers will be recognized at a ceremony Nov. 6.
Superintendent of Schools Matthew Conway
said, “This is the first time a Derby Paraeducator is being recognized for
this award honoring her dedication to the district and community and serving
the needs of our children and parents.”
The District also recognizes Building Level Paraeducators of the Year: Cindy Joel at Bradley School;
Annette Ochoa at Derby Middle School; and Pam Queen at Derby High School.
