Way to go

Maureen Stevens, a paraeducator at Discovery Elementary School, has worked for Mukilteo School District for 51 years and is still going strong. Superintendent Alison Brynelson recognized Stevens with a certificate, service pin and flowers at the end of the school year. After the pandemic is over, Stevens is most looking forward to smiles. In the meantime, she continues her love of reading, dogs and collecting and growing dahlias.
