Three employees of schools in East Cobb were honored this week by the Cobb County School District.

They’re among the district’s classified employees of the year, which goes to those working in support staff positions: secretaries, custodians, nurses, food service staff, bus drivers, paraprofessionals, fleet maintenance and other categories.

The honors were announced during a luncheon this week at Roswell Street Baptist Church and are given at the elementary, middle and high school levels.

Just as was done last week with retired Cobb school district employees, the individuals were honored over the last two school years, since the event has been suspended for COVID-19 reasons.

District-level classified employees of the year from 2020-22 include Kathleen Riewerts (in the photo above), who is the Food and Nutrition Services manager at Daniell Middle School.

For the 2022-23 school year, school nurse Susan Murphy of Murdock Elementary School and Terri Robbins, the school secretary at Kell High School, were district-level winners.

They posed for the photos with their families and Cobb school superintendent Chris Ragsdale.

“I love Kell, especially because we have such a wonderful team, Robbins said in a Cobb school district release. “I have the best principal. It’s a job that I am happy to go to every single day. I look forward to it. It is just the team that makes the whole experience worthwhile.”

“I have a love for food. I come from a big Italian family, and I love to be able to share that with the children and teach them about nutrition and food and different tastes and stuff,” Riewerts said in the release.
