NAPERVILLE – June 18, 2018 – DuPage Credit Union recently gave away a total of $575 in gift cards to three outstanding local educators and the staff who nominated them as part of the Credit Union’s 2nd Annual Teacher Appreciation Giveaway during the month of May. 

DuPage Credit Union asked local school staff members for stories of fellow educators who went above and beyond during the 2017-18 school year and deserved recognition.

Teacher Appreciation Winners were:

First Place – Chrissy McManus, Montini Catholic High School, Lombard

McManus was nominated by Jaclyn Walsh for her, “unending patience and positive outlook. Montini is a better place because Chrissy is there, challenging, aiding, assisting everyone who asks.”

Second Place – Sandy Wenig, Emerson Elementary School, Elmhurst

Wenig was nominated by Michelle Thompson for, “being an outstanding teacher constantly on the leading edge of innovation. Whenever we ask a teacher to try something new…Sandy is the first to volunteer.”

Third Place – Nate Terry, Downers Grove South High School

Terry was nominated by Colleen Reagan for organizing and implementing the first All School Triathlon, in which over 255 students participated, “it always impresses me that he looks to involve as many students as possible in events like this triathlon.”

“All of the stories submitted were a joy to read,” said Amy Brandt, Vice President of Business Solutions. “We truly appreciate all that our local educators do in their classrooms.”
