Congratulations to honored teachers
More than 460 people attended last night’s annual Celebration of Teaching Awards—one of the largest since the program started eight years ago. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Lowell, the dinner has become an annual way to celebrate the many caring teachers in the Lowell Public Schools, as well as provide them with the opportunity to nominate their own favorites for “best teacher of the year.” Each school nominates a teacher, providing background information about their accomplishments, which often includes funny, heartwarming notes of endorsement from students. The rotary then selects one winner for each of three categories: elementary, middle, and high school. The winners receive a $500 cash award and the priceless honor of being selected by their peers for excellent teaching. Last night’s Teacher of the Year awards went to: Mary Beth Leavitt, Bailey Elementary School; Chris Georges, Daley Middle School; and Donald P. Hayes, Lowell High School. Congratulations to the award recipients, the nominees, and all teachers who make a positive difference in our children’s lives. For the nominees by school, check: more »
