On Monday, April 29, the annual Teacher Excellence Awards were given out. The award, which is designed to “recognize exceptional educators for their outstanding work, impact on students and invaluable contributions to our school community,” is given to four teachers who are nominated by their fellow staff members.
The award ceremony took place in the Main Lobby, where family members, administrators, teachers and some students gathered to celebrate the achievements of the awardees. The winners this year were Erika Seaver (World Languages), Claire Getzoff (Special Education), Angela Sangha-Gadsen (English) and Toly Walker (English and Reading).
Recipients gave acceptance speeches, talking about colleagues, family and work. Many speeches centered around the importance of teaching, and the life changing effects it can have.
“You never know what will make an impact,” said Toly Walker.
