Colleen
Wright Named Campbell Union School District's Classified Employee
of the Year Campbell
Union School District has named Rolling Hills School Secretary Colleen
Wright as its 2007 Classified Employee of the Year, the first year
that this award has been given by the district. She has worked at Rolling Hills for 20 years,
and many consider Colleen to be "the face of Rolling Hills." She is the kind, calm voice at the end
of the phone line. She
is the gentle guide for the families. She
keeps track of a large staff with diverse needs, and is always patient,
with children and adults. Not only does Colleen keep track of various
budgets, remember timelines for the huge array of events that happen
at Rolling Hills, and come to the aid of teachers when the copier
freezes at the most impossible times, but she knows every child at
Rolling Hills by name and knows every family who has EVER attended
Rolling Hills while she has been there. Her skills, experience and expertise are sought
by other schools secretaries and by District office staff. Colleen
is often asked to serve on interview panels for hiring new school
secretaries. She has
helped to train and mentor employees who are new to their positions
and assisted with district-level projects, such as the District's
Parent Rights Handbook, student data systems, and others. |

too. Llolanda has been

she was active in supporting the Measure B parcel tax campaign, and
helped the Campbell Education Foundation raise funds for our schools. Llolanda and Jorge believe in giving back to
the community and have instilled that value in their children through
their actions. As the

representative to the group. This
year, her daughter serves as that representative. She
and Stephanie attended the SSC training and Llolanda has been scrupulous
