On behalf of the Northampton Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC), we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many dedicated individuals who support students with disabilities in our schools every day. Although we are unable to host our traditional award ceremony this year, our appreciation is stronger than ever. We honor and celebrate our special education teachers, paraprofessionals, interventionists, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, behavioral specialists and general education teachers who create inclusive and welcoming classrooms. We also recognize the valuable contributions of school psychologists, adjustment counselors, guidance counselors, nurses, secretarial and administrative staff, bus drivers, van monitors, cafeteria workers, custodians, librarians, and administrators. Each plays a critical role in the success and well-being of our students. Your patience, compassion, creativity and unwavering support do not go unnoticed. You change lives every single day, and we are deeply grateful for all that you do. Thank you for being champions for all children.
