Meet Heather Gallant, a Grade 2 Teacher at Readfield Elementary School, who is receiving an Employee Recognition Certificate from the Maranacook Education Foundation. Heather was nominated by a parent for this honor, Heather goes above and beyond to help her students who may have trouble in school for one reason or another. She makes sure that they feel supported and encouraged regardless. This is abundantly evident by my child who loves going to school every single day despite it not always being easy for him. He has learned and grown so much this year and just really enjoys being in the classroom with his teacher and peers. There have been opportunities where he could have felt alienated, but she always made sure to include him and look out for his comfort. As a parent, I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation enough. My son struggles with ADHD & anxiety, and Heather has helped him feel accepted in his own skin. Presenting the certificate to Heather is Karen Smith, Superintendent of Schools, and Jeff Boston, Principal of Readfield 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 Heather!
