Meet Laura Damon, the Art Teacher at Manchester Elementary School, who is receiving an Employee Recognition Certificate from the Maranacook Education Foundation.  Laura was nominated by a parent for this honor who shared that both of her kiddos look forward to art class every week, and that it is the one thing about school that they are excited to share with me at the end of the day. The art projects that she gets the kids to produce are unbelievable. The extra time and care that Mrs. Damon puts into creating an art show and truly celebrating her art students' achievements is out of this world. Manchester Elementary School is so lucky to have Mrs. Damon. She inspires children with her kindness and nurtures their creativity. Presenting the certificate to Laura is Abbie Hartford, Principal of Manchester Elementary School.

The Foundation believes, and we’re sure that many in the  community agree, that we have excellent employees in our school district who provide outstanding educational and support services to the students we serve. In an effort to show appreciation for their service, we created a process to recognize employees each month. Recipients for this recognition are randomly selected from employees nominated for their excellent efforts by fellow staff, parents, students and community members. Each recipient receives a small honorarium and most importantly, the public recognition they so richly deserve. Those nominated can be teachers, administrators, coaches and support staff who work in every department in the district. Please use this link to complete the nomination form if you would like to make your admired employee a candidate for this recognition.

Congratulations Laura!
