Norma Perez and Carolina Rodriguez were honored this year at the International Parents as Teachers Conference in New Orleans, LA. Both Parent Educators were recognized for providing ten years of dedicated service to children and families in home visiting.
Norma has served Spanish speaking families in the RPS 205 Prevention Initiative program for 11 years. She has proudly worked for the district for 19 years. Norma stated that every day in her role as a Parent Educator, she has the opportunity to “spread the seeds, no matter if you can see the fruit or not, they will come up later.”
Carolina serves both Spanish speaking and monolingual families in the RPS Prevention Initiative program. She said that it was an honor to be celebrated at the conference. "It's been a joy and a privilege to have had the opportunity to work with so many amazing families, kiddos and staff throughout the years.”
Both Norma and Carolina are two examples of staff that are living the values every day.
