Brandon Moreno has set a high standard for work ethic in SSD’s Community-Based Vocational Instruction (CBVI) program.

Brandon is a senior at SSD’s Southview School, and has worked at a number of CBVI sites, including Ronnie’s Plaza, China 1 and Delmar Gardens.

According to his Rosemary Zander Award nominator, SSD teacher Rebecca Seger, Brandon is a classroom leader and friend. “Brandon excels with accuracy and pride at his jobs,” she said. “And his smile speaks a thousand words. He brings joy to all of the people he serves.”

Brandon is a role model at Southview when it comes to communication. He not only understands English, but also Spanish, which is his family’s language. He uses some American sign language as well as an augmentative communication device.

“Brandon is the guy who has achieved all that is set before him, with a smile and determination,” said Seger.
