Mrs. Shorr recognized
as the Employee of the Month
 Norwood Elementary School has once again been designated a Title I Distinguished School, something it has accomplished every year since the following educator has served there as the Title I teacher.
It’s just one of the reasons Ethel Marie Shorr was recognized as the February Employee of the Month.
Her principal, Dr. Ben Guido, nominated Mrs. Shorr, who said she is frankly the best Title I teacher with whom he has had the privilege of working. Her professional performance is, by far, above and beyond the call of duty. She does her work with a smile on her face, love in her heart, and with great enthusiasm and exuberance.
Mrs. Shorr’s untiring devotion to the students of Norwood Elementary has enabled the school to meet AYP each year since the guidelines were set. She has further been instrumental in helping to coordinate the school’s 5-year plan, Title I Plan, Technology Plan, the Partners in Education Program, the annual School Board Effectiveness presentation, the PTO and positive school/parent relationships.
Dr. Guido noted that “her enthusiasm is contagious and Norwood Elementary School is a better place due to her respected status as a professional staff member.” Mrs. Shorr was congratulated and presented with a plaque from MCM Business Systems and dinner from Mickey and Debbie Cheurbino at the Wonder Bar.
