Sleepy Eye High School agriculture instructor and FFA advisor, Mary Hoffmann, was called to the office one day last week. She said getting called to the office is always a bit unsettling. This time she was called there to be surprised with the news that she is a recipient of a 2021 WEM Outstanding Educator Award, an honor that is accompanied by a $15,000 award.
Hoffmann said the award was presented by a Zoom call in the office, where school administrators could join in the surprise and offer their congratulations.
According to a press release, Hoffmann is one of six educators being honored by the WEM Foundation and Synergy & Leadership Exchange for outstanding accomplishments and contributions to student learning. She is one of two recipients of the Teacher Achievement Award, which recognizes exemplary teachers who support, inspire and assist students to attain greater learning as evidenced by student achievement.
