Constance Milburn Honored with Teacher Recognition Award

Constance Milburn of Glover School,was recently honored with the 2022 Margaret Voss Howard Teacher Recognition Award for Marblehead. Her nominators said that “Mrs. Milburn has turned a group of students without much, if any, formal schooling into students who have acquired grade-level skills, learned that school is a place of discovery and community, and become familiar with how to handle themselves in a manner that is in keeping with Glover School’s motto, 'Choose kindness.'” They added, "Mrs. Milburn has begun to beautifully, successfully shape the children in her [kindergarten] class into “students."

Roneline Ramoutarsingh (Mrs. Singh) of Witchcraft Heights Elementary School was the honoree from Salem. Both were nominated for their exceptional teaching, and for inspiring strong student progress--and joyful learning--even in the midst of upheaval due to the pandemic. They also exhibit great relationships with students, parents, and colleagues. Each is a worthy "representative of all the excellent, dedicated teachers in the community who make a difference to children every day." They were chosen by a selection committee from nominations made by colleagues, parents, and students.

The award is a fund of the Essex County Community Foundation.
