You Are Special: Andy Dallamore

Andy Dallamora was one of 23 Framingham School employees honored at the 23rd Annual Salute to Framingham.

The annual Salute program recognizes Framingham teachers and staff who go the extra mile to make each day “special” in our public schools. These teachers and staff are given a “You Are Special” designation and are publicly recognized as part of the Salute to Framingham. They are nominated by administration/building principals.

Editor’s note: Framingham Patch is publishing all 23 honorees profiles between now and the end of the school year, so the community can recognize the employee. Click here to read previously published profiles.

Below is the profile of Dallamora, as it was read to the sold-out crowd of more than 500 people on Thursday, March 26.

Andy Dallamora is a dedicated, hard working man with a quick wit. The energetic team of Andy and Roberto has been invaluable to the successful opening and daily operation of the King Elementary School.

Andy grew up in Framingham attending Saxonville Elementary [Stapleton], Winch Park and Framingham North High School.

Andy met his wife, Debbie, while working for Harrison Conference Services in Marlborough. Debbie and Andy will be celebrating their 34th wedding anniversary in September. Andy and Debbie have three children, Audrey, Andrew and
Matthew; as well as two grandsons, Christopher and Zachary.

In June of 1989, Andy joined the Buildings and Grounds Department of the Framingham Public Schools. Initially Andy worked a split shift between King and Walsh under Everett Beaman, “Who taught me everything I know…all the good stuff anyway.”

Andy and Roberto have been a team for 18 years and they have a wonderful working relationship as well as great respect for one another. Andy often greets us with, “Hi Champ…what can I do for you?” Andy’s warmth and positive
attitude is instrumental to the success of the King School.
