Queensbury, NY, December 11, 2017 — Each week during the school year, TCT Federal Credit Union salutes local educators and school employees for their outstanding efforts during the year. For the week of December 11, 2017, the Teacher of the Week Award was presented to Mrs. Catherine Dutcher, 8th Grade Special Education Teacher at the Hudson Falls Middle School.

“Mrs. Dutcher is a great teacher for many reasons. She is always there to listen to her students problems and helps by providing useful answers. When her students have trouble with their work, she modifies the material so they more clearly understand it. At times she allows her students to listen to music while they work to help them focus and recently when her students worked hard in E-L-A class, she made them some tasty chocolate chip cookies. Thank you Mrs. Dutcher for being awesome!”

The Teacher of the Week is nominated by a fellow school community member who wants to acknowledge their dedication to students and enthusiasm for learning. All school employees including teachers, aides, assistants, administration staff, janitors, nurses, bus drivers, and more are eligible to receive the award. To nominate a special school employee, email teacher@adirondackbroadcasting.com. View past Teachers of the Week at: www.tctfcu.org.

Nominations are kept on file throughout the school year and one recipient is selected each Monday morning and announced on-air at Adirondack Broadcasting radio stations. The award includes gift certificates to local businesses, a commemorative plaque, flowers and gift bag. Teacher of the Week is sponsored by TCT Federal Credit Union and Adirondack Broadcasting.
