  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize that
the  quality  and  character  of life in the communities across New York
State are reflective of the concerned and  dedicated  efforts  of  those
individuals  who would devote themselves to the welfare of the community
and its citizenry; and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Maria  Marano  upon  the occasion of her designation as recipient of the
Award of  Excellence  by  the  Western  New  York  Educational  Services
Council,  celebrated  on  Wednesday,  April 24, 2024, at the 18th annual
Awards  for  Excellence  Banquet  at  the  Creekside  Banquet  Hall   in
Cheektowaga, New York; and

  WHEREAS,   Western  New  York  Educational  Services  Council  is  a
nonprofit organization that supports  school  districts  throughout  the
region;  the  purpose  of  the  Awards of Excellence program is to honor
school staff and leaders who make a  difference  for  students,  have  a
track  record  of  amazing  leadership, go above and beyond in their job
duties, and demonstrate excellent  personal  characteristics  that  make
them a role model for students; and

  WHEREAS,  Maria  Marano  is  receiving this prestigious award in the
support staff  category  for  her  role  as  cook  manager  at  Franklin
Elementary and Middle School; and

  WHEREAS,  Serving the district for 30 years, Maria Marano began as a
food service helper and in 2008, she was promoted to cook  manager;  she
oversees all food service operations in her building; and

  WHEREAS,  Under  her illustrious leadership, Franklin Elementary and
Middle School breakfast and lunch continues to be  outstanding  and  her
staff  works  efficiently;  the  quality  of  the  school's food service
operation is demonstrated by the fact that approximately 80% of students
take part in the lunch program; and

  WHEREAS, Maria Marano goes above and beyond to give students a  fun,
positive  experience during lunch and to work with students to offer new
options that they can enjoy; and

  WHEREAS, It  is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that  when
individuals  of  such  noble aims and accomplishments are brought to our
attention, they should be celebrated and recognized by all the  citizens
of the great State of New York; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Maria Marano upon the occasion of her designation as recipient  of
the  Award  of  Excellence  by the Western New York Educational Services
Council; and be it further
