An Outstanding Educator

It is with a very heavy heart that we must say our goodbyes to Patty Girolametto.  Patty was the recipient of our Educator of the Year Award in 2008.  She was a long time advocate for students with learning disabilities and an outstanding resource teacher with the Sudbury Catholic District School Board.
