Hats-Off Teacher Award Recipients
We have two Hat's Off Award Recipients this Spirit Week!
Hats off to Mr. Mauch!
One of our grateful students, Logan wrote, "He is one of the only teachers that I consider a friend. He is one of the best coaches I have ever had. He is always there for me. He always has a smile on his face. He is fun to be around." Congratulations, Mr. Mauch!
Mrs. Baldino was recognized by Jack in that, "Mrs. Baldino is just an overall amazing teacher. She has done as much in her power to prepare us for tests and more. She makes sure that the work we are doing is fit for our level of learning and she is always so helpful with work we may need help with. She is also just a kind and caring teacher overall. As we come in the door she is always there, welcoming you and asking how you are. She genuinely cares for us, and I could not ask for a better teacher. Thank you Mrs. Baldino."
