April 2001 - Congratulations to the RSD Outstanding Employees for 2000-2001.

Theresa Clymer, Language Arts/Social Studies Resource Teacher, was named Outstanding District Support Person. Her goal of improving instruction and learning in the district has impacted curriculum at all levels and touched buildings across the district.

Outstanding Secondary Teacher is Hazen Special Education Teacher Angie Atkinson. Principal Rick Stubrud notes that Angie "has a class demeanor that exudes confidence and caring" so that all of her students succeed.

Tiffany Park's LAP Specialist Vicki Steckler was selected as the Outstanding Building Support Person. Vicki has served on numerous school committees and is activiely involved in all of the school's special reading and student self-esteem building programs.

Wouldn't you like to be a "Ricette" too! That's how the committee felt after selecting Maplewood Heights 2nd grade teacher Wendy Rice as the Outstanding Elementary Teacher. She has shown a complete dedication to education and building young lives and as her students know "once a Ricette always a Ricette."

These four incredible employees will be honored at the April 11 School Board Meeting, 7 pm, Kohlwes Education Center.
