Dianne Brady and Vanda Parreira Receive Awards for Their Work Over the Past Year

Hudson, MA - The Massachusetts Association of Approved Special Education Schools (MAAPS) this past Thursday, April 25th, held its annual awards ceremony honoring the excellence and dedication of special educators over the past year. Two awards were given out, the Excellence in Teaching Award, and the Albert E. Trieschman Direct Service Award.
The Excellence in Teaching Award was presented to Dianne Brady of the Amego, Inc. School for the above and beyond effort that she puts into the education of her students. Robert Lynch, Director of Student Services, who nominated Dianne, said, “Dianne Brady is a true model of what a Special Educator should be. She is truly an outstanding educator who goes above and beyond on a daily basis to ensure that the needs of her students are met.” In addition to the tireless and now award-winning work Dianne does on a daily basis at Amego, she has already received a Sheltered English Emersion endorsement from the Department of Education and is finishing up work on a masters degree. Dianne Brady truly exudes all you'd hope to see in an educator as she exhibits never-ending commitment to learning and proving the best education possible for her students.
The Albert E. Trieschman Direct Service Award was presented to Vanda Parreira of the St. Ann's Home & School for her work as the Unit Director of the Harmony Unit, which is home to the latency aged female residents of St. Ann’s. “Vanda embodies caring and, as a role model to her staff and St. Ann’s community, she has built a true sense of Home for her residents. A place where they can be themselves and build upon small daily successes while they work toward their goals,” said a collective group of staff that supported Vanda’s nomination.
