Three Nashua Educators Are Teacher Of The Year Nominees for 2020
Emily Chrusciel, Patrick Johnson, and Srilakshmi Sanker are three of 39 teachers nominated for consideration next year.
NASHUA, NH - Emily Chrusciel, a fifth grade teacher at Fairgrounds Elementary School in Nashua, Patrick Johnson, a Nashua North High School social studies teacher, and Srilakshmi Sanker, a mathematics teacher at the World Academy in Nashua, were nominated for New Hampshire Teacher of the Year for 2020 in a ceremony in Concord on April 1, 2019. They were among 39 candidates nominated for next year – the most ever during the history of the program here in the Granite State.
At the luncheon Monday, the teachers displayed their work with students and also received a citation from Gov. Chris Sununu. The nomination process includes applications and essays, recommendations, and resumes.
“As commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Education, meeting teachers and learning what they are doing for our children is always exciting for me,” noted Frank Edelblut. “But seeing so many New Hampshire educators being nominated this year and reading the acknowledgments of their colleagues and community is inspiring.”
