KENNETT SQUARE — Kennett Consolidated School District is announced that social services provider Ms. Maribel Gonzalez was recently honored for her excellence in education at the 2016 YWCA Tri-County Area’s Tribute to Exceptional Women.
The YWCA Tri-County Area has hosted the Tribute to Exceptional Women event for 21 years to recognize the accomplishments, leadership, and strength of local women. As the recipient of the Education Award, Maribel was recognized as a social services provider who motivates, teaches, and cultivates strong values in the youth of the Kennett community.
“Maribel has been an advocate for the families in the Kennett Consolidated School District for more than ten years,” said Ms. Rosa Quintana. “She works tirelessly to provide families with the services they need most.”
In her role as a social services provider, Maribel works to match families with the services they need such as counseling services, medical assistance, CHIP, parenting support groups, and homelessness resources while promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. Maribel’s bilingual ability provides her the opportunity to communicate with Spanish speaking families.
“As a School Social Worker, Maribel is deeply involved with our students who are experiencing difficult life altering circumstances. Through her involvement with our students and their parents she has earned the trust necessary to be effective in helping those in her charge to move toward positive outcomes,” said Kennett Consolidated School District Superintendent Dr. Barry Tomasetti. “I congratulate Maribel on this recognition that she most definitely deserves.”
The Kennett Consolidated School District is proud to represent individuals who make a difference within the community.
