At the February 11, 2025 WPS Board of Education meeting, a heartwarming recognition took center stage as Orchard Park Academy teacher Melissa Garcia was honored as the Denver Nuggets' Most Valuable Teacher (M.V.T.) for February. This accolade not only highlights Garcia's dedication to her students but also brings attention to her innovative drone soccer program, which has garnered significant acclaim.

During the meeting, it was announced that Garcia would be celebrated at the Nuggets' upcoming game against the Portland Trail Blazers, where a special seat will be reserved for her. Alongside this honor, she will enjoy the game with three guests, including her parents, and received a $2,000 grant to enhance her classroom resources.

The recognition was made even more special with the presence of Rocky the Mascot, who joined the celebration at Orchard Park, showcasing his skills in the gym. This event underscores the importance of community support for educators and the positive impact of programs like drone soccer on student engagement and learning.

The board's acknowledgment of Garcia's achievements not only celebrates her contributions but also emphasizes the value of innovative teaching methods in schools. As the community rallies around its educators, the anticipation grows for the positive outcomes this recognition will bring to Orchard Park Academy and its students.
