What they’re saying: “It is such an honor to be recognized for my passion as an educator and the work I do within S.T.E.P. at Ramsey High School. It truly takes a village, and this award given to me just as much belongs to the paraprofessionals, child study team, support service providers, general education teachers, parents, and the Ramsey community who help me create a community that embraces and celebrates all of our differences and strengths on a daily basis. Our students are always at the forefront of everything we do, and this honor is a result of the dedication we share in providing students of all abilities with the opportunity to succeed. Without the support of this incredible community, I would not be the educator I am today. THANK YOU!” -Margarita Diakos, Special Education Teacher, RHS
