"Sophie Payson, a social worker for the Portland Public Schools, will receive a recognition award from Maine Department of Education Commissioner Susan Gendron for her work to meet the needs of at-risk youth. Gendron will present the award at a Blaine House ceremony on May 21.
"Payson serves on the state’s Advisory Committee on Truancy, Dropout and Alternative Education. During her three years on the committee, she has helped to develop the Fresh Start Program and recommendations for policy changes to assist the at-risk population.
"Payson works at Portland High School and has been employed by the school department for five years."
FYI: Sophie served as a champion for our Reconnecting Youth programs at PHS for 3 years and she totally deserves this recognition! Yay, Sophie!!
