The Anne Marie Paraeducator of the Year Program recognizes 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 tragedy. UPSEU member and Unit President Deborah Stevens from Strong Elementary School has been named Southington's 2017 Anne Marie Murphy Paraeducator of the Year.
Each district submits the name of their paraeducator of the year honoree to the State of Connecticut. The State then names the State's 2017 Anne Marie Murphy Paraeducator of the Year at a ceremony held on October 13, 2016.
Congratulations Deborah!
