The Montebello Unified School District, Employee Associations Host the Second-Annual District Employee Recognition Ceremony, May 8, to Honor their Contributions to the District
Beneath bouquets of royal blue balloons and rousing cheers from the audience, the Montebello Unified School District (MUSD) officials and employee association representatives celebrated the District’s very best at its “2nd Annual Employee Recognition Ceremony,” May 8, at Montebello High School. More than 500 District employees were invited to be recognized at the event.
Playing on that theme in his welcoming comments, MUSD Superintendent, Dr. Anthony J. Martinez presented a slide show featuring images of teachers, administrators and classified employees who served at District schools when he was a student at MUSD. Dr. Martinez shared how these individuals encouraged him when he was a student and expressed how district employees at all levels have the ability to influence students.
Dr. Martinez was joined on stage by MUSD Board of Education members, employee group representatives, and other dignitaries, who formed a line to greet honorees as they were introduced and directed to pose for group photographs.
“Classified employees, teachers, and administrators work with our students on a daily basis and have a profound impact on their personal development and academic achievement,” Dr. Martinez said. “Today, we celebrated those contributions, and honored the men and women for their strong commitment to our students’ education.”
During the ceremony, the MUSD honored retiring district employees and those achieving milestone anniversaries, beginning with 15 years of service and continuing in five-year increments up to 40 years of service. The District also announced the Teacher of the Year, Classified School Employee of the Year, and Administrator of the Year.
The MUSD 2018-2019 Classified School Employee of the Year is Bertha Castro of Montebello Park Elementary School; the District Teacher of the Year is Patricia Sifuentes-Vasquez of Bandini Elementary School; and Administrator of the Year is Robert Cornejo, at the District office.
The Montebello High School Chamber Band entertained the honorees at the start of the event, while the Eastmont Intermediate School Mariachi helped to close out the program by leading guests out of the auditorium and performing on the school’s front lawn during a post-event reception.
