A couple of Butler Area School District employees are receiving recognition from a local organization for their dedication.
The Butler Chapter of the Pennsylvania Association of School Retirees recently honored Autistic Support teacher Katie Kosick and Autistic Support Paraprofessional Kathryn Yeamans with this year’s Lauretta Woodson Award and education support grants.
The two support grants are for $100 each with the purpose of encouraging innovative classroom ideas and professional development through financing special programs, activities, or supplies.
Both Emily Brittain Elementary educators also received a plaque and pin. Each year a different Butler County School District is chosen to select employees worthy of recognition.
The PASR Butler Chapter is made up of former teachers, administrators, counselors, nurses, secretaries, aides, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and maintenance staff who receive a pension from the PA School Employees Retirement System.
