Rotary Club awards open for applications
Behind every student’s success is a teacher who recognizes his or her worth and cultivates it, and to honor these teachers who have gone the extra mile, the Rotary Club is now accepting nominations for its annual Service Above Self Teacher Awards. Winners will receive cash awards and be honored at a special luncheon in August.
The Rotary Club will consider teachers from all district schools who:
- go beyond the call of duty to develop curriculum, tutor students after school without compensation, and support other activities at the school;
- actively participate in their communities, frequently volunteering with organizations that promote the well-being of residents and positively impact students;
- support at-risk or developmentally disadvantaged students by offering counseling, support, and a positive learning environment; and
- are selfless in their conduct and innovative in their classroom instruction.
The nominees will have to submit a statement of professional philosophy that highlights what drives his or her actions and attitudes. The deadline to apply is June 6. A special award luncheon will be held Wednesday, Aug. 8.
Teachers may self-nominate or be nominated by colleagues who think they meet or exceed the criteria listed above.
