Royal Oak Schools announced their 2022 "Support Person of the Year" on Thursday, May 5, 2022.
The honoree is Robin Newsome.
Robin is the Maintenance and Transportation Coordinator for the district. This fall she will celebrate 9 years with the district.
"I am very honored to have been presented this award," Newsome said. "I appreciate being recognized this way because there are so many others more deserving."
Robin's direct supervisor, Jeff Synowiec said this about Robin receiving the recognition, "In my opinion, Support Person doesn't begin to describe all that Robin does on a daily basis to keep our operations department running smoothly. Her dedication and professionalism are known to all that work with her and she has been instrumental in helping me in the transition to my position as Operations Manager." Jeff moved into his current position this past February.
