Thank you education support professionals
Aaron Harada | Salem-Keizer Public Schools
Thanks to our Education Support Professionals on November 18, 2009 is ESP Day.

Today is Education Support Professionals Day! Thank you for your dedication that benefits students, parents, staff, and our whole community. Here are just a few quotes from our district leaders.

Sandy Husk, Superintendent:
"You create, maintain and improve the environment for our students, teachers and administrators to do their best. Because you are always there, creating a positive environment for learning, this organization is able to help kids accomplish great things every day."

Mary Paulson, Chief of Staff
"Our support professionals are essential to the education of our students. Through their commitment to the quality of their work, they help build the pathway to success for every child, every day."

Jim Jenney, Manager of Custodial Services:
"Thank you for your efforts that make our students successful. We cannot do this without you.

Michael Shields, Director of Transportation Services:
"Our support professionals are developing the next generation with strength of character. I think Daniel Webster said it best:

'Let us develop the resources of our land, call forth its powers, build up its institutions,
promote all its great interests, and see whether we also in our day and generation
may not perform something worthy to be remembered.'

"The ESPs are performing in a manner worthy to be remembered as evidenced through our students. Thank you for being the glue that holds us together."

Jay Remy, Director of Community Relations and Communications:
"Thank you ESPs. You work tirelessly to serve our children and communities with care and professionalism to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for students."

Kristen Duus, Director of Technology and Information Services:
"Thank you to all of the wonderful people in this district who support instruction indirectly - from making sure the buildings are open, operational and clean; to getting students safely to-and-from school; to making sure technology is appropriate and operational; to running the offices, issuing paychecks, doing purchasing, facilitating hiring, and coordinating benefits ... The list goes on and on! This district would not be able to run without you! Thanks for all you do."

Ruth Gelbrich, Director of Student Services
"We are delighted to recognize the amazing contributions by our many educational support professionals throughout the district! By taking a moment to honor these employees we will be celebrating the hard work, dedication and invaluable services these professionals provide. These are unsung heroes who drive our students to school, provide instructional and non-instructional support, serve on the front line of public relations with our community, take care of our schools, and provide many technical and operational services to other staff and students. Congratulations and thank you!"

Stephen Cox, Library Media Program Specialist
Our education support professionals are the glue that holds things together. Without the hard work and dedication of our support professionals, many of our best efforts would simply come apart.
