Dear Educational Support Professionals (ESP’s),

Today is National Education Support Professional’s (ESP) Day. On behalf of the Rockland Education Association (REA),  I want to take a moment to express our gratitude for the invaluable services provided by: Paraprofessionals, Custodians, Bus drivers, Secretaries, Food service workers, Nurses, Librarians, and other support staff. Your dedication, care, and support make such a significant difference in the lives of students, teachers, and the entire school community. Whether you’re assisting in the classroom, managing administrative tasks, serving lunch, maintaining the facilities and sites, or providing emotional and academic support, your contributions are invaluable. You help create an environment where learning can thrive, and your efforts often go unnoticed, but they are always deeply appreciated. Thank you for your unwavering commitment and for being the backbone of our educational system. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for everything you do.

With sincere thanks,

 

Sharon B McGonnigal

REA President
