Penn Manor School District (PMSD) is seeking nominations for its annual awards recognizing oustanding educators and employees. Nominations can be submitted by parents and guardians, students and colleagues of Penn Manor staff members through Sunday, Feb. 26. They will be accepted online only at https://bit.ly/EmployeeEducatorAwards, and one form should be used for each nominee. Nominees should be teachers and other staff members who go out of their way to help students and support the schools. The school district will present the 2022-23 awards for Outstanding Elementary Educator, Outstanding Secondary Educator, and Outstanding Employee later this year.

Nominations for the Outstanding Educator Awards should be based on a teacher's ability to promote academic growth in his or her students as well as on outstanding pupil-teacher relationships. A person may nominate one elementary teacher, one secondary teacher, or one teacher on each level. The nominees must currently be employed by PMSD.

Nominations for Outstanding Employee Awards should be based on a staff member's ability to support the educational program and the quality of his or her relationships with staff members and students. A person may nominate one elementary staff member, one secondary staff member, or one employee on each level. The nominees must currently be employed by PMSD.
