June Eichas, teaching assistant at Village Elementary School in Hilton, was named School-Related Professional (SRP) of the Year at the staff convocation at Hilton High School on September 6.
For the past 17 years, Eichas has treasured and respected her students for the unique individuals they are and works hard to advance each child’s social, emotional and academic skills. Her coworkers describe her as kind, compassionate, selfless and reliable.
“June is a model citizen of character and compassion, and makes our learning community and world a better place,” said one nominator. “Her ability to think she can do better, try something differently, and hope for more has pushed me to become a better teacher,” said another.
The other SRP of the Year finalists were: Brit Brattlie, nurse at Village Elementary School; Pat Jarvis, teaching assistant at Northwood Elementary School; and Becky Myers, teacher’s aide at Hilton High School.
Hilton Central School District School-Related Professional of the Year honors the exceptional skills and initiative shown by Hilton staff members. Applicants are judged on performance of duties, handling of an unusual assignment and how they embody the image of the school-related professional.
