TEACHER OF THE YEAR! STAFF MEMBER OF THE YEAR!
Debbie Witherow Senior Award!
 

Each year, the PTSA gives out 3 awards at the end-of-year school awards ceremony. It's a wonderful opportunity for students and parents to recognize our amazing Statesmen teachers and staff. This year, after so many trials and tribulations, the award will be particularly meaningful!
 
Nominations are now being accepted for the Teacher of the Year, Staff Member of the Year, and Debbie Witherow awards. The entire Marshall community is welcome to nominate someone for the Teacher of the Year and Staff Member of the Year awards. Teachers and staff only are invited to submit nominations for a senior for the Debbie Witherow award.
 
If you would like to nominate someone, please email your nomination to Carolyn Keehan at president@gcmptsa.org. The deadline for these nominations is midnight on Friday, April 16, 2021. Your nomination should briefly explain why you believe the person deserves to receive the award. Voting on the nominations will take place at the April 21st PTSA meeting.
