Paige Fournier, a special education teacher at Freeport Middle School, has had a good year in spite of the pandemic’s impact.
“We’ve had more positive than negative,” said Fournier, a 17-year educator.
She came to know her students better, she said, as she worked with them early on to navigate remote learning from home. The staff was brought closer as they dealt with technology challenges, she said. And last week, Fournier accepted the Cumberland County Teacher of the Year award at a virtual ceremony.
