Meet Nicole Blake, Art Teacher at the elementary level in our school district, who is receiving an Employee Recognition Certificate from the Maranacook Education Foundation. Nicole was nominated by a colleague and a community member for this honor because she has devoted her life to helping children discover the beauty that surrounds them and encouraging them to express that beauty through their own creativity. Both nominators have seen Nicole on multiple occasions ensure that the spotlight is on her student's artwork. Instead of seeking recognition for the work she does, she works tirelessly to make sure her students are recognized for their hard work and skill. Presenting the certificate to Nicole is Karen Smith, Superintendent of Schools, and 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 Nicole!
