Foundation Presents Teacher Awards
The excitement at the East Grand Rapids Public Schools’ “Opening Day” celebration at the start of the school year is hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t been there. The enthusiasm from teachers and staff is incredible, and it peaks when the Foundation announces the recipients of the Excellence in Teaching Awards and the James and Georgia Nicholas Endowed Award for Math, Science and Technology.
This year’s Excellence in Teaching Award recipients were Breton Downs Elementary teacher Christy Gast, Wealthy Elementary teacher Christen Sarjeant, and East Grand Rapids Middle School teacher Kristine DiVita. Lakeside Elementary teacher Kristen Lecours was honored with the James and Georgia Nicholas Endowed Award for a Teacher of Math, Science, or Technology.
