Teacher of the Year 2015

Lance P. Sijan Chapter 125, Air Force Association

Teacher of the Year (TOY) Nomination 2015

The TOY program recognizes classroom teachers at the Chapter, State, and National level for their accomplishments in exciting K-12 students about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and preparing them to contribute to tomorrow’s technologies.  This is an excellent opportunity to recognize special teachers who are furthering excellence and making coming to class an adventure!

The Lance P. Sijan Chapter recognizes teaching excellence at two levels: grades K-8 and grades 9-12. In addition, we select one of the honorees as our overall Teacher of the Year and as our nominee to compete for the State/Regional Teacher of the Year.

Each honoree, along with their school’s principal, will be recognized at the Lance P. Sijan Chapter’s Awards Banquet and will receive a check for $250, a Certificate of Excellence, an AFA tote bag, and a complimentary one year Civil Air Patrol Aerospace Education Membership. In addition, the overall Chapter Teacher of the Year will receive an additional $250 grant.  Further information on the award can be found at http://www.afa.org/ChapterTeacheroftheYearAwardWinners1.  If you have questions, you can reach me at dave.geuting@exelisinc.com.
