Peg Maziuk was honored at the CAS Elementary & Middle School Volunteer Banquet at the Aqua Turf Club on March 16, 2010.
The Connecticut Association of Schools proudly celebrates this event annually to publicly acknowledge the work of parents and other volunteers for their contributions to schools across the state.
Five hundred and seventy five participants from eighty schools were treated to a four course meal and were entertained by pianist Kim Quinn from Rocky Hill.
Honorees were presented with plaques and corsages to commemorate their service.
Connecticut’s Associate Commissioner of Education, Dr. Marion Martinez, was the keynote speaker.
In her remarks she stated that ​“we can give many things, but the gift of time is the most important gift you can give”.
She commended the volunteers for being good-will ambassadors and for making a difference in the lives of children. ​“Your presence speaks volumes to our students and you model what is important”.
Our Bungay School motto is ​“Children First” and that is exactly how we would describe Peg Maziuk. Peg is responsible for many contributions made to our school one of which has been organizing the installation of picnic tables that serve as an outdoor classroom to our students and instrumental in our playground addition.
Throughout her 13 years at Bungay School, Peg has been actively involved in such things as our after-school program, bingo nights, book fairs, cultural events, and school-wide events such as the harvest night, holiday fairs, field day, class day, and the school store. She has demonstrated an appreciation for our teachers and staff through breakfasts, luncheons, and special days throughout the school year. Peg has helped to create a warm positive climate and culture, and through her leadership, commitment and fine efforts, our school has an active group of parents who volunteer in the classroom, at special events, and whose main purpose is to care for our kids.
The Connecticut Association of Schools and their corporate partner, the Bearingstar Insurance Group, along with CAS official photographers, Grynn and Barrett, join Associate Commissioner Martinez in celebrating the contributions of volunteers who share their time, talents, and commitment to quality education in Connecticut schools.
