2014 Maryfrances Shreeve Award for Teaching Excellence

 

by Superintendent Robert "Bob" Lewandowski

  On Friday, April 18, 2014, the University of Montana and the Phyllis J. Washington College of Education & Human Services celebrated the success of its students and many connections with individuals, communities and partners at its annual banquet. It was a wonderful evening of celebration and connections with so many educators and future educators. This year, our very own kindergarten teacher Brenda Clouser was heralded under the spotlight as the Maryfrances Shreeve Award winner for Teaching Excellence.

Maryfrances Shreeve was a much loved master teacher. She taught in Montana for thirty-seven years. She spent several of those years teaching right here at Mission.  Maryfrances Shreeve epitomized the dedicated, concerned and committed master teacher who set the standard for excellence in teaching today. The evening echoed her commitment to learning and Brenda Clouser accomplishments and success were celebrated in receiving this award.

Upon receipt of the award, Brenda received $2,000 for herself and $1,000 for her school district. Brenda has asked that the money be spent on additional leveled reading books for the lower grades. Congratulations Brenda Clouser. We are all so proud of you!
