Know An Outstanding Westfield Teacher? Nominate Them For An Award

WESTFIELD, NJ - For 22nd time in as many years, the Optimist Club of Westfield is awarding two Westfield teachers with the Intermediate School Outstanding Teacher Award, and they want nominations for the honor.

Two intermediate school teachers – one from Edison and one from Roosevelt Intermediate Schools – will be chosen to receive the award at an Optimist Club dinner and will be honored at a Board of Education meeting in June.

“The Outstanding Teacher Award gives deserving credit to our intermediate school teachers who provide an educationally stimulating and supporting environment during a critical stage of adolescence,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Margaret Dolan.

Nominations should specify ways in which the teacher has demonstrated outstanding
teaching, interest in children and continued pursuit of professional growth. The
nominee must be a full-time teacher in the Westfield Public Schools in grades 6-8 for a minimum of five years.

Students, parents and staff are encouraged to submit nomination letters to:
Outstanding Teacher Award Committee of the Optimist Club of Westfield,
c/o Office of the Superintendent, Westfield Public Schools, 302 Elm Street, Westfield, New Jersey 07090.

Letters can also be e-mailed to: optiaward@westfieldnjk12.org.

The deadline for submissions is May 10.
