Call for Nominations
for the
first year of this annual award honoring former Fort River teacher Roger Wallace!
Elementary teachers, instructional
paraprofessionals, and parents of students currently in the elementary schools
of Amherst and Pelham are invited to nominate an outstanding teacher to
receive this award. You are encouraged to
collaborate with others in making nominations.
A group of parents, alumni and retired educators,
partnering with the Amherst Education Foundation, the Social Justice Education
Program at UMass, and collaborating with the Amherst Public Schools, has
created this award to honor Amherst and Pelham elementary teachers and
recognize excellence in teaching! We are
raising money to create an endowment of $25,000 so that one teacher can be
honored each year and the award can continue into perpetuity. The award will include a stipend of $750 in the first year, and a stipend
based on the income from the endowment each year thereafter.
Nominations are due April 1, 2013.
For more information on how to nominate an outstanding teacher, please visit the website and/or join us for our fundraiser on April 6,
2013. Details coming soon.
