Catherine A. Cirillo is a model employee and citizen. She has paved a
path of success with every task she has taken on and is definitely a
role model for others everywhere. Because of her dedication, ‘take
charge’ attitude and nurturing personality, Cirillo has been named
the
Broward County Public Schools 2004 School-Related Employee of the
Year.
Although her job title is micro-technician, Cirillo also serves as
the bookkeeper, budgetkeeper, and office manager for Bennett Elementary
in Fort Lauderdale. She holds the record for being the senior employee
at Bennett, having been there for 10 years. Besides being an outstanding
employee, she is a dedicated mother, community volunteer, booster club
member and a diehard Florida Marlins fan.
Cirillo has a spotless record. Throughout her tenure at Bennett, she
has been exception free on all audits. She has assisted with training
and provided support to new bookkeepers throughout the Ft. Lauderdale
Innovation Zone.
In addition to her bookkeeper and budgetkeeper duties, Cirillo runs
a very well disciplined, highly trained and motivated office staff
as the school’s office manager. When a problem or complication
arises, she takes ownership to resolve the issue.
The number of greetings she gets when walking through the hallways
can measure Cirillo’s involvement with the students. She has
been an active volunteer at Bennett and throughout the community.
As the parent of a learning-disabled student, she has been instrumental
in transitioning many special needs students into mainstream education
through mentoring. She has also been a familiar face in the academic
camp sessions for FCAT preparation, Family Math and Science Nights,
and all PTA functions.
Catherine A. Cirillo is a true professional, a dedicated worker and
a wonderful person. She’s a leader and a role model, and truly
deserves to be called Broward County Public Schools School-Related
Employee of the Year 2004.
