2009 Education Support Professional of the Year
We all know our schools would not operate well without the hard work and assistance of Education Support Professionals (ESP). They are the secretaries, paraeducators, food service personnel, custodians, bus drivers, maintenance employees, mechanics, nurses, early childhood educators, security personnel and coaches who make schools safe, efficient and healthy.
Congratulations to the 2009 ESP of the Year, Julie Wickersham, an occupational therapy assistant in Clarkston.
