TCT Federal CU Honors Teacher of the Week
January 16, 2019
Queensbury, NY, January 15, 2019 — Every week during the school year, TCT Federal Credit Union honors local educators and school employees for their outstanding efforts during the year. For the week of January 14, 2019, the Teacher of the Week Award was presented to Mr. Patrick Murphy, 6th grade Science & Math Teacher at the Glens Falls Middle School.
Mr. Murphy has a way of teaching two difficult subjects that makes it easier for his students to understand. He realizes that every student is different and finds a way to help them understand the material being taught and how to retain that information. Mr. Murphy is one of the kindest and most caring teachers, and for all of his efforts, his students are proud that he is this week’s teacher of the week.
The Teacher of the Week is nominated by a fellow school community member who wants to acknowledge their dedication to students and enthusiasm for learning. All school employees, including teachers, aids, assistants, administration staff, janitors, nurses, bus drivers, and more are eligible to receive the award.
To nominate a special school employee, email why you feel he or she should be the teacher of the week in 100 words or less to teacher@adirondackbroadcasting.com. View past Teachers of the Week at www.tctfcu.org/totw.
