Meet Katie Reed, a Pre-K teacher at Mt. Vernon Elementary School and district ELL teacher, who is receiving an Employee Recognition Certificate from the Maranacook Education Foundation.  Katie was nominated by a administrator for this honor who shared that Katie is a big supporter of early childhood education and always interacts with her students in a calm, caring, approachable, child-centered way. She is a leader in the school by joining all of our professional development work and provides support outside of regular classroom hours for her PreK students and parents. Presenting the certificate to Katie is Michelle Hood, Principal of Mt. Vernon Elementary School.

The Foundation believes, and we’re sure that many in the  community agree, that we have excellent employees in our school district who provide outstanding educational and support services to the students we serve. In an effort to show appreciation for their service, we created a process to recognize employees each month. Recipients for this recognition are randomly selected from employees nominated for their excellent efforts by fellow staff, parents, students and community members. Each recipient receives a small honorarium and most importantly, the public recognition they so richly deserve. Those nominated can be teachers, administrators, coaches and support staff who work in every department in the district. Please use this link to complete the nomination form if you would like to make your admired employee a candidate for this recognition.

Congratulations Katie!
