They all give themselves a pat on the back, shout that they had a legendary day, and hug her goodbye.”

The six teachers who were honored are listed below:

• Michael Castelli, Central Bucks West High School, Central Bucks School District
• Andrew King, Morrisville Middle/High School, Morrisville School District
• Dawn Martesi, Neil A. Armstrong Middle School, Bristol Township School District
• Jerry Moore, General Nash Elementary School, North Penn School District
• Becky Geremia, Gwyn-Nor Elementary School, North Penn School District

“The comments of the nominators and the community, who raved about these teachers on our Facebook page, reinforce the fact that we are very fortunate to have so many highly qualified and committed professionals teaching our 200,000 students every day, said Linda J. Weaver, former second grade special education teacher in Bristol Township and a representative of CAPS.
