2017-18 Employees of the Year Winners
At the end of each school year, MCUSD employees are asked to vote for a
Credentialed Employee of the Year and a Classified Employee of the Year.
The Employee of the Year Program is intended to allow staff to select, recognize
and honor colleagues who exhibit an exemplary performance, have an inherent
tendency to serve beyond the call of duty, and who foster a positive learning
environment for the students we serve.
The ballot has been cast and the votes are in! Congratulations to all of the outstanding
employees that were nominated!
We have two winners! Fun and loving; dependable and committed; inspiring and
exceptional. These are just a few of the words that were used to describe the
recipients of the 17/18 MCUSD Credentialed Employee of the Year and Classified
Employee of the Year Awards.
Employee of the Year Awards.
Credentialed Employee of the Year
Debbie Bird
“Debbie goes out of her way to
make parents feel welcome
and children to feel loved.
I have seen her love on children
until they give up and love on her.
Plus she makes our work
environment super fun and the
kids love it!”
Classified Employee of the Year
Elena Gonzalez
“Elena is an exceptional custodian.
After the recent flooding of the school gym
and parking lot, Elena had the gym dry the next day.
After a few short days, the parking lot had been swept,
since it had been covered in gravel. This is just
one example of her commitment to maintaining
a clean environment for our kids.”
Please join us at the May 10, 2018 Board meeting to honor both outstanding employees!
Warm regards,
Jeff Aranguena
