Distinguished Teacher Award The N.E.W. 200 Foundation is now sponsoring the annual Distinguished Teacher Award for District 200 educators. For several years GATES-200 has recognized District 200 teachers for their excellence by presenting an annual Distinguished Teacher Award to one teacher from each school level (Elementary, Middle, and High School) who has put forth extra effort to enrich the educational experiences of District 200 students. In order to expand this important recognition program, it is now administered by The N.E.W. 200 Foundation, as part of our commitment to supporting and rewarding innovative teaching methods in our district and funding new academic initiatives. Students and parents of students who are currently enrolled in District 200 schools may submit nominations. Any teacher is eligible for nomination if he/she is currently employed by District 200. The 2006 Distinguished Teacher Awards were presented at the May 24 School Board meeting. The Foundation gave out one award each at the Elementary, Middle, and High School levels. Each of our awardees will receive a personalized plaque recognizing their efforts and a check for $100. The awards were presented by Bill Barnett, President, Teresa Barnett, Distinguished Teacher Award Chair, and Joe Ruth, Secretary. The 2006 awardees are:
Gifted and Talented Education Supporters in District 200 (GATES-200) began this program 6 years ago. In order to expand the recognition program, and through mutual agreement of the two organizations, it is now administered by The N.E.W. 200 Foundation. Congratulations to Melissa Kessler, 2006 Elementary School winner of the District 200 Distinguished Teacher Award!
