Voices of Inspiration, initiated in 2007, received another
enthusiastic response this year, with 975 nominations. The award was
created to honor and celebrate the contributions of exemplary
educators in the Montgomery County School District. The Voices of
Inspiration Selection Committee chose 23 finalists - one teacher from
each of the twenty-one Montgomery County public school districts, one
teacher from the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit, and one teacher
from a Montgomery County non-public school.
“Freedom is proud to recognize this well-deserving group of educators
as true voices of inspiration,” said Lee T. MacMinn, Freedom Credit
Union President/CEO. “We are happy that Voices of Inspiration has
received such a warm response and great participation from the
Montgomery County School Districts.”
Approximately one hundred thirty educators, superintendents, and
supporters joined Freedom to commend the awardees on their superior
commitment to teaching. The event recognized the finalists with a
$500 award and gave an additional $1,500 to the three grand prize
winners (one high school, one middle school, and one elementary
school teacher.)
“The fifth Annual Voices of Inspiration was certainly a success in
recognizing outstanding teachers in Montgomery County Schools,” said
Dr. Jerry W. Shiveley, MCIU Executive Director/CEO. “I am pleased
that Freedom Credit Union is supporting an event that focuses on the
dedication of educators in our schools and gives them the recognition
they deserve.”
Some of the local teachers who were recognized were: Scott Landis
(Wissahickon), Cindy Bayard (Upper Dublin), Robert Culp (Colonial
School District), and Barbara Stefano (Springfield),
These teachers were nominated by students, parents, other teachers,
administrators and board members for exhibiting inspirational
teaching abilities.
