Socorro Consolidated Schools

It’s out last #warriorwednesday of the 2022-2023 school year and we want to use it to recognize our staff members of the year. Dana Etscorn, a HS ELA teacher, was named the Certified Employee of the Year. Dana is always willing to try something new to engage students and support them where they are by providing the structure and support necessary to expect outstanding achievement from each student. Bernice Anaya, a District Bus Driver, was named the Classified Employee of the Year. Bernice is always going out of her way to make sure the kids get where they need to be, she has always been able to change on the go and adapt to any situation. Bernice has even been known to get under the bus on the side of the road and fix a problem or two to get the kids home. Laurie Ocampo, Parkview Elementary Principal, was named the Administrator of the Year. She sets the tone for Parkview as a place of discovery and support. She is an extremely hard worker who keeps the halls of Parkview colorful and full of student work. Her leadership is the key to Parkview’s success and her professionalism is an inspiration to all educators.

This #warriorwednesday SCS would like to recognize Anna Mae Fleming, Office Manager for the NM Grads Program. Anna Mae began working with the District as an EA in the early 70’s and eventually transferred to District Office where she helped with payroll and accounts payable. She went on to become the Superintendent’s Secretary and held that position for over 30 years. The GRADs program, which is a flow-through grant helping teachers who work with expectant and parenting teens across NM, is lucky to have her help keeping the program running efficiently. Anna Mae comes from a very large family and enjoys spending time with her family and making memories. She is married to longtime SCS educator, Nick Fleming, and has a daughter, Kathryn, and grandson, Braydon. #educatenurtureinspire #onceawarrioralwaysawarrior
