Students honored and district music teacher receives PMEA citation at Wyoming Area meeting
Summary
The board recognized the Friends of Rachel Club for fundraising for autism supports and accepted a Pennsylvania Music Educators Association District 9 citation honoring a Wyoming Area elementary music teacher.
At the May 20 meeting the board recognized students and staff for extracurricular and instructional contributions. Emily Griglock, a senior and president of the Friends of Rachel Club, outlined the club’s focus on kindness, anti-bullying and community service and said proceeds from a teachers-vs-seniors basketball game were used to expand autism support classrooms in the district.
"Every student deserves to feel seen, heard, included, and valued," Griglock said, describing the club’s projects and thanking advisors and administrators for their support.
Tom Bassett, president of the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association District 9, presented a citation of excellence to music educator Narda (Speranza/Speratza), saying she was nominated by peers and selected from roughly 150 educators in the district. "It's my privilege to present this plaque to Narda," Bassett said, noting her work running concerts, chorus and extracurricular piano students who have performed at venues beyond the district.
The board and audience offered applause and congratulations; the recognitions were presented before the budget and finance reports concluded the work session portion of the meeting.
