TCT Federal Credit Union Honors Local Teacher
March 26, 2019
QUEENSBURY, NY, March 26, 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 March 25, 2019, the Teacher of the Week Award was presented to Ms. Margaret Hickey, French Teacher at the Hudson Falls High School.
Ms. Hickey has created a welcoming atmosphere in her classroom where her students can shut out all of their other problems and just learn. She makes her students feel like they are her number one priority and works hard to help them be successful in class. If Ms. Hickey feels like her students are going to have trouble with an upcoming test, she will huddle them around the board and give them a mini lesson so that they understand the material better. Learning a different language is tough, but thanks to Ms. Margaret Hickey at the Hudson Falls High School, her students are learning quickly.
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.

Nominations are kept on file throughout the school year and one recipient is selected each Monday morning and announced on-air with the Adirondack Broadcasting group of radio stations. The award includes gift certificates to local businesses (Davidson Brothers, Core Revolutionary Group Fitness Facility, Adirondack Winery, a commemorative plaque from Adirondack School Portraits, flowers from A Lasting Impression and TCT gift bag. Teacher of the Week is sponsored in part by TCT Federal Credit Union and Adirondack Broadcasting.
