DALLAS—Librarian Elvira Aguirre, Adelfa Botello Callejo Elementary School, is the 2012-2013 Dallas ISD Librarian of the Year. For the past 39 years, she has worked with Dallas ISD students—30 years in the classroom teaching and nine years as a librarian.
Aguirre, known as a “young spirit in body and soul,” embraces new technology and new ideas, while using the best teaching techniques and classroom management skills developed in her nearly 4 decades in education. “Her warm personality, great professionalism, and desire to help students and teachers achieve in a caring environment makes her a natural life-long learner,” states Gay Patrick, Dallas ISD Library Director.
Aguirre worked as the librarian at the old James B. Bonham and James W. Fannin elementary schools before moving to the new Callejo Elementary School last year. She also served in the classroom at Sam Houston and Ascher Silberstein elementary schools, William B. Travis Academy/Vanguard and Harry Stone Montessori.
“No matter what is going on in our school, she always smiles. She reminds us that together we can accomplish anything.” says Susan Bernicke, assistant principal, Adelfa Botello Callejo Elementary.
Congratulations.
