Our ASEC team came together to celebrate a year of growth, collaboration, and impact. We enjoyed time together, reflected on all we accomplished, and honored Julie and Krystal as they begin their next chapters. It was also special to welcome a few retired staff members back to join the celebration.

We are grateful for the people who make ASEC such a strong and supportive team. Here's to another year of serving students, families, and schools together!

What a meaningful way to wrap up the year! ❤️

Team ASEC spent our last day giving back at North Country Food Bank. Together, we packed 660 boxes of food, totaling 21,450 pounds, to help support individuals and families in our region.

We're grateful for the opportunity to support an organization that makes such a difference in our communities. Thank you, North Country Food Bank, for the work you do every day!

Today we celebrated two remarkable women whose dedication, compassion, and service have left a lasting impact on ASEC, our member districts, and countless students and families.

Congratulations to Julie Yutrzenka on 27 outstanding years of service as an Occupational Therapist at ASEC and to Krystal Anderson on an incredible 40-year career in education, including the past six years with ASEC as a Teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

Thank you both for your unwavering commitment, advocacy, expertise, and care. Your influence will continue to be felt long after retirement, and ASEC is stronger because of each of you.

Wishing you both happiness, adventure, and all the best in this next chapter. Congratulations on your well-earned retirements! 💙

Mrs. Pageler is a top-notch Special Educator and an even better human. Her dedication, compassion, and commitment to students make a lasting impact every day. Congratulations on being named Teacher of the Quarter!

Jennifer Pageler has been selected as the High School Staff of the quarter at WAO for Quarter 4. Jennifer sets the bar high, not only for her students but for other staff members. She is the type of teacher who makes her students feel comfortable and welcomed, while at the same time pushes them to get out of their comfort zone and learn a lot. She is extremely organized and punctual, and she commits to student success, big or small, unlike any other. Thanks, Jennifer, for making WAO better!

A special thank you to the incredible ILC staff who helped make the day possible. It takes a dedicated team to create experiences like this for students, and we are so grateful for all you do!
