Break The Mold January Award Winner

  

Diana Benedict is the January 2014 Break The Mold recipient.  Outside of her job as Para Educator at Ockerman Elementary she does the things that are often forgotten...making sure the school facilities are clean and safe for public use by doing things like picking up the trash on the playground.  Diana is known by her colleagues as dependable and conscientious.  She puts her students needs first by creating individual relationships with each one to better serve them.  Her energetic, cheerful yet modest attitude makes Diana a mold breaker.
