NOMINATIONS FOR PHOEBE HEARST OUTSTANDING EDUCATOR AWARD
Each year, the PTA honors one teacher in our District with the Phoebe Hearst Outstanding Educator Award. This historical award recognizes professional excellence and extraordinary personal commitment by an educator.
In this spirit, I encourage all the parents of the District to submit recommendations for this prestigious award. Criteria includes: teacher’s relationship with the student, excellent teaching and class management skills, ability to create enthusiasm about learning, responsiveness to parent’s needs and concerns, and “going the extra mile” for the student.
Your recommendation does not need to be lengthy, formal or complex. A few sentences will suffice. You may nominate more than one teacher and I encourage you to do so. Please do not forget our wonderful specialists.
Letters or emails can be sent to: kellyscannell@pacbell.net or mailed to
This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all of the many caring and outstanding teachers in our district, so please take a moment to recognize all of the teachers that make a difference in our children’s lives. Excerpts from all parent recommendations for EVERY teacher nominated will be read by Chris Carter at this ceremony
Letters must be received by April 9, 2010.
The winner of this award receives a $500 grant from RUSD PTA and his/her name on a plaque that is displayed in the Superintendent’s office. The award will be presented to the teacher who wins at a ceremony on May 20, 2010.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
PTA President
