⭐️ Teacher of the Year and Woodford Outstanding Service Award ⭐️

⭐️ Teacher of the Year and Woodford Outstanding Service Award ⭐️

We switched up one of our favorite traditions this year! 😍 Typically, our Teacher of the Year (TOY) and Woodford Outstanding Service Award (WOSA) recipients are announced at our Opening Day celebration in August. This year, we announced the recipients IN the school year that they are receiving their award. Schools decided how they wanted to reveal their winners. Some schools chose pep rallies with students while others selected staff and faculty gatherings. The results are in: people loved celebrating in this way! 😄💛👏

🚨 We still have one more TOY and WOSA to announce in a few weeks (Safe Harbor Academy/District/Transportation), but we wanted to go ahead and share these photos now! 🚨

🚨 All TOY and WOSA recipients will be recognized again at Opening Day. They will receive their beautiful award on that day. 🚨

Congratulations to the following dedicated, passionate, hard-working individuals. We are stronger as a district because of YOU! Thank you for everything you do for the children of Woodford County.
