Washington Township Superintendent of Schools Joe Bollendorf proudly announced the 2021-22 Support Staff Professionals of the Year, marking the fourth consecutive year that the District has singled out employees outside of certificated staff for recognition.
The 12 honorees will be celebrated at the Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, at 7 p.m. in the Eileen Abbott Central Administration Building (206 East Holly Avenue, Sewell, NJ).
“It is my privilege and pleasure to shine the spotlight on a group of professionals who are most deserving of this honor,” Bollendorf said. “Quite honestly, the growth and successes that occur daily in classrooms in every school in this District could not happen without the countless contributions of these folks, often behind the scenes, who are truly dedicated to their assignments and this District. They are our unsung heroes, and we are happy to honor them in this way.”
