What an amazing day we had today, visiting Hunter Jr High. Maritza Silva has made such a difference in her school that all the students came out of the halls and clapped for her as we walked throughout the school! Principal Grunig says, “Maritza exemplifies the qualities of an outstanding paraeducator: dedication, reliability, adaptability, and compassion. Her contributions to our school community are truly deserving of recognition and appreciation.”

“Maritza demonstrates unwavering commitment to our students and staff. She is present without fail, ready to assist wherever needed. Whether it’s providing support in the classroom, supervising students at lunch, aiding with translations, or taking on additional responsibilities, Maritza approaches each task with enthusiasm and a positive attitude.”

We saw this manifested on the faces of students throughout the school. Maritza Silva, thank you for making such a difference in the lives of so many! You are truly loved!
