Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching

PAEMST Recognition Program

A Portage County educator received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. Natalie Harr, a first-grade science teacher at Crestwood Elementary in Mantua, was one of two Ohio educators to receive the honor, which goes annually to educators in grades K-12 who demonstrate excellence in science and math. Harr will receive a certificate signed by President Barack Obama and a $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation, which administers the program.    https://recognition.paemst.org/finalist_profile/29080

The New Common Core Standards will be implemented this upcoming 2013-2014 school year and are more rigorous.  This three minute video explains the change.  You can help us as parents by trying to schedule appointments and vacations during non-school hours as to not disrupt the educational time we have with your children. Together we will work to give your child the best educational opportunity.  Your help is greatly appreciated!
