The annual McMinnville Noon Rotary Outstanding Teacher awards honored five district educators via Zoom. The awards are intended to show the community’s support for the outstanding work done in our schools by teachers.

Superintendent Maryalice Russell introduced the principal of each recipient, who outlined why the teacher was chosen for the award, and each teacher spoke a few words.

The teachers honored this year include

 Suzanne Jensen, Duniway Middle School

Sarah McBride, Grandhaven Elementary

Wendy Maselli, McMinnville High School 

Mackenzie Smith, Newby Elementary

Jace Widmer, Wascher Elementary

 Each teacher will receive a plaque and monetary prize for this recognition, honoring their dedication to teaching and their students.

Congratulations, teachers!
