This morning, the GLOW Region's school social workers were celebrated in a big way as NYSSSWA President Wendy Castiglia visited Genesee Valley BOCES to personally present awards recognizing their statewide achievements!
At the New York State School Social Workers Association (NYSSSWA) annual conference in November 2024, GLOW social workers swept the awards, with seven of the eleven honorees coming from our region:
Baylee Barrett - Avon Central School District
Nicole Carey - Hornell High School
Courtney Hathaway - Geneseo Central School District
Anna Lynah - Caledonia-Mumford Central School District
Julie Snaith - Wayland-Cohocton Central Schools
Laura Wadsworth
- Dansville Central School District
The highlight of the morning was Jenna Poinan from Alexander Central School District receiving the prestigious Ruth Schwartz School Social Worker of the Year Award for her unwavering dedication to children, families, and the field.
Congratulations to this incredible group for their outstanding work and positive impact on students and families across our communities!
