We KNOW MFPE members know a classified school employee (maybe you) who fits this description:
- positively impacts student learning, social-emotional well-being, health, and/or safety
- positively impacts families and/or the local community
- uses union engagement and activism to positively impact other school employees’ professional importance and reputation, wages, working conditions, and/or effectiveness
- positively impacts colleagues
Who’s a “classified school employee”? They’re the paraprofessionals, education support professionals, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, maintenance and janitorial staff, and so many others who help students be successful in pre-school or Head Start all the way through college, and it’s time to select the next MFPE Education Support Professional of the Year (ESPOTY).
Please send your nomination to MFPE President Amanda Curtis at [email protected] ASAP, and she’ll send them our application. Please tell Amanda their name, where they work, and a very short description of why you think they deserve the award.
The applications are due back to our office no later than September 8th, so we don’t have a minute to lose! Send your nomination in today. No, it’s not weird to nominate yourself!
