Classified Employee of the month honored

Violet Padilla was recognized by the Governing Board of the Santa Paula Unified School District as the Classified Employee of the Month. She was first hired in 2010 as a bi-lingual, after school instructional assistant. After a short break because of budget restraints she returned to Bedell. Principal Jeff Robinson said of her, “I feel one of her greatest assets is her beautiful smile. We see it when she comes to work, as she picks the students up from class and on her way home.” Pictured are (l-r) SPUSD Superintendent Alfonso Gamino, Principal Jeff Robinson, Violet Padilla and Board President Chris Wilson
