Congratulations to Jill Despard who was selected as a 2022 Pioneer Valley Excellence in Teaching Award winners by her Agawam peers and administrative staff.
The celebration of Excellence in Teaching Award winners will be entirely virtual again this year. This virtual banquet will acknowledge and celebrate all winning teachers. Each winner will receive an engraved plaque, an award check of $250, gifts from area colleges and businesses, and some surprises. Being entirely online, no tickets will be sold so there is no limit in the number of attendees. So, we hope many parents, students, colleagues, friends, administrators, and others will join the virtual celebration.
Winning teachers will also have a wonderful opportunity to apply for the Classroom Innovator Prize for Project Based Learning.
