Queensbury, NY, February 12, 2018 — 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 February 12, 2018, the Teacher of the Week Award was presented to Mr. Thomas Vartuli, Physics Teacher at the Hudson Falls High School.
“Not only is Mr. Vartuli an exceptional Physics Teacher, but he also coaches J.V. Basketball and instituted the Science Research Class for Hudson Falls. He offers much of his free time before, during and after school for his students to receive extra help. Often, he continues to work from home finding helpful articles related to his students’ research. In addition to his academic contributions at Hudson Falls High School, Mr. Vartuli has a wonderful sense of humor that helps to make his classroom a fun learning environment!”
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.
