The winners, which include McCaskey Campus art teacher Lisa Wolf, were announced Friday.
A colleague, who was not identified, nominated Wolf, a 32-year teaching veteran, lauding her for fighting through kidney failure and a kidney transplant, then returning to teach full-time during the COVID-19 pandemic.
After taking a year off to heal from the transplant, Wolf returned to school in person when she could have worked from home or retired, Wolfâs colleague said in her award submission.
âShe led the department in a valiant effort to organize and assemble 950 take home art kits so our students would be able to create their work at home,â Wolfâs nominator said. âShe called her AP Art students every day to help them apply remotely for and excel in their AP portfolio reviews, often working into the late night. She helped our department design high quality lessons that could be delivered to and executed by students both synchronously and asynchronously.â
