This person is loved by her students, appreciated by their parents, and respected by her peers. This person is a progressive and talented teacher who has dedicated herself to providing a tremendous education to her students. Despite being a master teacher, she is constantly seeking new strategies to improve her instruction, and recently earned her endorsement as a Consulting Math Teacher. Her students have reaped the rewards of her passion for mathematics. Students in her classroom experience project-based learning, enhance their sense of self by learning to develop a “growth mindset,” and learn to look at math through a whole new lens. This person has served as a resource to her fellow teachers. She is always more than willing to share her knowledge with her colleagues. She is a long-time member of Amity Elementary School’s leadership team, and a two-year member of the instructional lead team. Like many teachers, this person is reluctant to accept praise for her work, but she is truly deserving of recognition. She is a valued member of the Amity community and a true asset to the Boise School District. Tonight it is our distinct honor to present the Red Apple Award for February 8, 2016 to Christy Schwehr, 4th grade teacher, Amity Elementary School, for outstanding service to education and for educating today for a better tomorrow. GOLDEN APPLE AWARD It is our pleasure this evening to recognize an individual who has served the children of the Boise School District for almost 7 years. This person has been described as dedicated, considerate, flexible, friendly, focused, generous, impressive, kind, hard-working, humble, and respectful. She is all of these things and more. This person always goes out of her way to ensure that Highlands Elementary School is clean and safe, stopping by classrooms to make sure everything is in order or to see if there is anything that a teacher - 1 - needs. She concerns herself with the quality of her work, attending to the smallest detail with efficiency and dedication. This person is an amazing asset to Highlands. She is continually in motion, always looking for things to fix or clean in order to make the school a better place to learn and grow. She is extremely compassionate and thoughtful, using meticulous care to keep the staff, students, and families of the school as safe as can be. The pride she takes in her work is evident in the clean glow of the school – and she does it all with a smile and a kind word. Tonight it is our distinct honor to present the Golden Apple Award for February 8, 2016 to Anna Morales, head custodian, Highlands Elementary School, for outstanding service to education and for educating today for a better tomorrow.
