Nominations being accepted for Teacher of the Year, Staff Member of the Year, and Administrator of the Year
The Grand Island Public Schools Foundation is accepting nominations for Teacher of the Year and Staff Member of the Year. The program is sponsored by First National Bank. The deadline for 2019-2020 school year nominations is May 21.
“In this unprecedented time, we have seen many heroes rise. The staff of Grand Island Public Schools has gone the distance for our students and for our community,” said Traci Skalberg, GIPS Foundation director. “We are asking the community to help us recognize these efforts by making a nomination of your favorite GIPS teacher, administrator, or staff member,” she said.
Nominees must be current teachers, principals, administrators, specialists, counselors, or support staff members (secretaries, custodians, para-educators, food service etc.) in the Grand Island Public Schools. Six awards will be made. Awards will be presented in August at the Back to School celebration.
