Congratulations to Marjorie Blackwill – Direct ESP (educational support personnel ) of the Year Award Winner!
Here are excerpts from the nominations received for Marjorie:
-The best part of Marjorie is her love for the students. It is apparent in every interaction that occurs. She is no pushover for sure, but she delivers even the most stringent reminder with love and gentleness.
-Margie knows that the strength of the school lies in the strength of the staff and the cohesiveness of that staff. She sees McSorley as a learning community.
-Marjorie goes above and beyond her job responsibilities each day, ensuring that students receive the support they need to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
-Beyond her daily responsibilities, Marjorie effortlessly demonstrates leadership, kindness, and a true passion for students and staff, provides invaluable assistance, and contributes to support school culture making her a truly deserving candidate for this award.
-Beyond her exceptional work with students, Margie is a leader in her role. Colleagues look up to her for guidance, support and inspiration.
-She embodies the heart and soul of our school community.
-She is a shining example of the difference one person can make in lives of students and colleagues, and I can think of no one more deserving of this honor.
