October 2023 – Employee of the Month: Karen Morano

October 2023 – Employee of the Month: Karen Morano

Karen Morano, RN worked for Head Start based at the Liverpool site from November 2014 until August 2016, then returned to the program at the St. Brigid’s site in August 2017. For most of this time she has been assigned to more than one location, and currently she covers the Genesee and Liverpool sites.

Karen is known for always demonstrating kindness, a positive attitude, a refreshingly off-beat sense of humor, and support for her co-workers and for the preschoolers she serves, in a role that frequently pivots from the dull routine of maintaining medical records to the urgency of an injured child. She is particularly adept at making the children laugh, or helping to keep them calm, and she even quits and crochets blankets to contribute to their families.

Thank you, Karen, for everything you do, and congratulations on being named as our Employee of the Month!

September 2023 – Employee of the Month: Seana Davis

Seana Davis has been working with preschoolers in our Head Start program since 2001. She was previously honored as Employee of the Month in December 2009, and is currently a lead teacher at our Liverpool location. Here are some of the comments that were included in her nomination to receive this award again:

“It is clear from the moment you step into her classroom that Seana is dedicated to her profession.”

“She not only treats every child with compassion and understanding, but also consistently shows patience and kindness to any individual who enters her classroom.”

“Seana is always willing to try any suggestions or ideas she is given, often thinking outside the box. This way of thinking has helped her persevere, no matter what challenge is thrown her way.”

Thank you, Seana, for everything you do, and congratulations on being named again as our Employee of the Month!

August 2023 – Employee of the Month: Shang-Ning (Shenny) Chien

August 2023 – Employee of the Month: Shang-Ning (Shenny) Chien

Shang-Ning (Shenny) Chien joined our Head Start / Early Head Start program as an Intake Worker in November 2021, and has earned her reputation for being very efficient and positive in performing her work, and for being very conscientious about helping the rest of the Eligibility, Recruitment, Selection, Enrollment, & Attendance (ERSEA) team. An illustrative example provided by one of her co-workers occurred when a parent went to Shenny’s site by mistake, and instead of having that parent reschedule the appointment for a later date at the correct location, Shenny rearranged her busy schedule in order to perform that intake herself.

Thank you, Shenny, for everything you do, and congratulations on being named our Employee of the Month for August!

June 2023 – Employee of the Month: Carol Alexander

June 2023 – Employee of the Month: Carol Alexander

Carol Alexander joined Liverpool Head Start in August of 2017 as a floating center aide, a role in which she has enthusiastically contributed to the operations of her site in a variety of ways, such as providing assistance in the classrooms, or maintaining inventory of supplies, or serving meals. But during the past two school years the nutrition aide position has been chronically vacant, requiring Carol to spend almost all of her time in the kitchen, preparing breakfasts and lunches and snacks for the preschoolers while paying close attention to their many special dietary needs.

Thank you, Carol, for spending so much time in a very important role that you did not choose, and congratulations for being named our Employee of the Month for June!
