Meet Sue Whitney, a Grade 5 Teacher at Manchester Elementary School, who is receiving an Employee Recognition Certificate from the Maranacook Education Foundation. Sue was nominated for a parent for this honor because she shares that Mrs. Whitney is exceptional. She consistently goes above and beyond to both educate and care for our children. Her students are engaged and excited about learning. Mrs. Whitney is always willing to go the extra mile. She also generously shares her knowledge and teaching style by having a student teacher every semester. My daughter is blessed to have Mrs. Whitney as her teacher this year. Mrs. Whitney has reignited a spark for learning that Sabrina lost during the COVID years. She has done this through her innovative and engaging teaching style. I love how she also ties her lessons in to practical applications. For example - with math, the kids have jobs to earn money. They receive weekly paychecks and use donated items to hold auctions. The students recently began running their own business to earn extra money also. She is the quality of teacher every parent dreams of for their student. The most amazing teacher. Presenting the certificate to Sue is Karen Smith, Superintendent of Schools, and Abbie Hartford, Principal of Manchester 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 Sue!
