Celebrating Excellence in CUSD!
We are thrilled to spotlight Mrs. Kim Patterson, who has been named the CUSD and LA County Classified Employee of the Year!
Join us in celebrating Kim's outstanding contributions to our community. Since 1992, Kim has served in various roles, including Substitute, Noon Duty Aide, and Health Assistant. Her dedication and compassion have not only touched the lives of countless students and staff members but have also significantly contributed to the well-being of our community, particularly during the challenging times of the pandemic. Kim's commitment to safety, support, and the well-being of our students sets a remarkable standard of care and leadership.
Here's what one nominator had to say about Kim: "Kim's exceptional kindness and compassion towards students make her an invaluable member of our team. Her unwavering dedication to our students' physical and emotional well-being is truly commendable. Kim consistently goes above and beyond, establishing herself as an outstanding employee and a pillar in our local community."
This year, Kim's excellence has not only been recognized at the district level but also by the Los Angeles County Office of Education in the Health and Student Services Category, marking a historic moment as the first time a CUSD Classified Employee has won the county award. This achievement underscores the exceptional caliber of our staff and the pride we should all feel in having Kim as part of our community.
Let's all congratulate Mrs. Kim Patterson as she advances to the California Department of Education for further consideration. Your Claremont family is proud of you, Kim!
