Teacher of the Year
To MaryAnn Nicosia, 23 years as a teacher in the Eagleswood Township Elementary School District seems like only days.
“I’ve taught here since 1988. Time flies when you’re having fun,” she joked. But the fifth-grade educator does more than just make her classroom fun and enjoyable. She challenges her students to reach higher than they realize they can.
“My teaching philosophy is to bring every student to their personal highest level of achievement and hopefully encourage them to become lifelong learners,” she said.
It’s that dedication that made Ms. Nicosia Eagleswood Elementary Teacher of the Year for 2010-2011.
“MaryAnn challenges her students. She works hard to understand them as individuals and truly wants the best for each of them, academically and personally,” said Superintendent Deborah Snyder. “Our school community is lucky to have her.”
