• “I would like to nominate Dulcey Worth who is an employee of Parks and Recreation, a good friend and a math coach for the Wallingford Board of Education. I have worked with Dulcey for 20 years. She is a person that constantly puts people ahead of herself. She supports her students and colleagues without the expectation of being repaid or acknowledged. She is intelligent and educates the children of Wallingford in such a way that they don’t realize they are learning! She is creative and dedicated. While not teaching during the academic year, she has worked with our department for the last 30 years this summer and still has the creative and an energetic camp spirit. While not working, you will find Dulcey volunteering at various activities, supporting local sporting events or social events along with walking many miles.”
