The Connecticut State Department and the School Paraprofessional Advisory Council established the Anne Marie Murphy Paraeducator of the Year Program to recognize the
important role of the Paraeducator in supporting student achievement.
The award is named in honor of Anne Marie Murphy, a Paraeducator who was killed in the Sandy Hook shooting.
Alyssa joined Little Raiders University family in December of 2015. She is a 2011 graduate of Derby High School.
Early Childhood Director Alison Conway said, “Alyssa is a tremendous asset to our school. She is dedicated, caring, and committed to working with our students. Her love of students and desire to see them succeed is evident in everything she does. Alyssa is very deserving of this outstanding recognition.”
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Matthew J. Conway, Jr. said, “Alyssa represents and defines what Paraeducators do for our children. She is relentless in her support of all children and goes above and beyond expectations to meet their needs.”
Jim Gildea, Chairman of the Board of Education said, “Early learning is such a critical factor in the success of all children and the students of Little Raider University are so very fortunate to have someone as talented and committed as Alyssa interacting with them daily. She is forging critical relationships and impacting children’s lives for years to come. We are all very fortunate to have someone with Alyssa’s dedication in the Derby school system. We congratulate her on being awarded Paraeducator of the Year.”
