2019 Teacher of the Year

Brooke Foster was named Grenada School District 2018-19 Teacher of the Year by Superintendent Dr. David Daigneault at a special ceremony with district staff on May 28. Foster, a fourth-grade English Lan-guage Arts teacher at Grenada Elementary 4-5, was chosen for the annual honor among honorees from all six schools. In the award citation, Daigneault called attention to Foster's dedication to tutoring students outside of class as well as mentoring new teachers at the GES Green Top. He said, "One of Brooke's colleagues shared, 'I have never known Brooke to leave one stone unturned when it comes to her students. They are well prepared at the end of every year.'"
Foster was presented with a plaque, certificates from a local business, and a new classroom desk, hand-crafted by Bobby Biddy of the GSD maintenance department.
