BOARD OF EDUCATION RECOGNIZES TEACHERS OF THE YEAR

At a regularly scheduled Board meeting on May 17th, the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District Board of Education recognized the District’s School Site Teachers of the Year. Every school year each of the 13 schools in the District selects its most exemplary teachers for the chance to be nominated for the Teacher of the Year program which is sponsored by the California Department of Education and facilitated by the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools. The nominee will be chosen from the 13 teachers listed below and the announcement will be made at the District’s annual Kickoff event on August 7th. Assistant Superintendent Jim Stolze introduced the teachers to the Board one by one while sharing quotes from the nomination forms. Each contained stories of unique ways the teachers support their students both in and out of the classroom but all maintained the same themes. Goes above and beyond, powerful and versatile, heart for kids, multi-talented, compassionate, inspiring, and loving are just some of the phrases and words found within the nomination forms to describe the teachers. The Board echoed the same sentiment while highlighting the lifelong impacts teachers have on their students.

Congratulations to each of the teachers who were selected!
