Gregory-Portland ISD held its annual Teacher of the Year awards ceremony Thursday recognizing six educators from the each campus and two representing the district.
The six honorees included physical education coach Kayla Knowlton of W.C. Andrews Elementary; kindergarten teacher Peggy Hamrick of T.M. Clark Elementary; kindergarten teacher Amy Winckler of S.F. Austin Elementary; first grade teacher Tiffany Seay of East Cliff Elementary; sixth grade social studies teacher Kory Baker of G-P Middle School; and STEM teacher Jonathan Turner of G-P High School.
Hamrick and Turner were the two representing their district for elementary and secondary schools.
Students and staff of Faye Webb Elementary School were all decked out in blue attire as they held their first Autism Awareness Walk at the campus Friday.
Assistant principal Kimberly Ellis put the march together as an extension of the diversity, equity and inclusion initiative school officials have set at the campus. The theme for the walk was Light It Up Blue. I taught Special Education before I became an administrator and I always say once a Special Education teacher, always a Special Education teacher, Ellis said. Even though I m in this administrative position, I feel this personal obligation to make sure every single student is provided a solid education. That accompanies inclusion; we have to be all inclusive to ensure every single student is learning at their full potential.
