Meet Carolyn Watkins, a Grade 3 Teacher at Mt. Vernon Elementary School, who is receiving an Employee Recognition Certificate from the Maranacook Education Foundation. Carolyn was nominated by a colleague for this honor who shared that Carolyn's level of patience and experience, coupled with her warm and supportive personality makes her a true GOAT( greatest of all time)! After students move into upper grades, they still want to come back and spend time with Mrs. Watkins. This also happens often with students who have graduated from Mt. Vernon Elementary School. The impact that Carolyn has on her students is timeless! This recognition is very timely as Mrs. Watkins plans to retire at the end of this school year. On behalf of all in our school community, we thank Carolyn for her years of dedicated service to our students. Presenting the certificate to Carolyn is 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 Carolyn!
