Nominations being accepted for Carla J. Nigro Spirit Award

Nominations are being accepted for the 2015-16 Carla J. Nigro Spirit Award.  This award recognizes a person who shares the spirit of making a difference in the lives of others. Carla was a school psychologist at AEA 13 and she had an enthusiasm for life. She lost her life to cancer in September 2010, but will always be remembered for her great spirit in the way she demonstrated a positive outlook, a friendly nature, a selfless attitude, and a passion for helping others.

This annual award acknowledges a Green Hills AEA special education representative (school psychologist, school social worker, or special education consultant) who exemplifies Carla's spirit in his/her daily work with students, parents, teachers and coworkers. The recipient of this award will receive a gift certificate, a plaque to honor his/her commitment to others, and will be acknowledged by peers at a GHAEA special education representatives meeting.
Nominations for this year’s award must be submitted by March 31, 2016. Resubmissions of past nominees are also welcome. For more information, contact Ellen Dosen.
