Joy Nichols Named 2017 Celebrate Excellence Educator of The Year
"Miss Joy" as she is known to her students, will be honored during the Hamilton County Education Foundation’s 11th Annual Celebrate Excellence Breakfast on May 12 at the Sharonville Convention Center. She was selected out of 35 nominees submitted by parents, students, and colleagues.
"Joy Nichols is the shining example of a thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient, involved, and caring teacher and person," said Kasey Johansen, parent. "She is always striving to be better, to make others better, and to help whenever and however she can."
Nichols joined the Sycamore Family in 1996 as a special education teacher, teaching at Symmes Elementary for three years. She returned to Sycamore in 2009, working with special needs students at Blue Ash Elementary. In 2016, she moved to Maple Dale Elementary, where she teaches preschool.
"Joy engages students who at first glance may seem to have little chance of progress," said Denise Somsak, parent. "The achievement of her students may not be noteworthy or measurable in the traditional sense but she makes a significant positive impact on the lives of her students."
