Good Apple Award Presented to Tracy Senn
Tracy Senn, a cafeteria server at Veronica E. Connor Middle School, received the Good Apple Award from the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International for her upbeat personality and genuine care of students. Nominated by Mary Jane Fonte, a VCMS teacher and Gamma Delta Chapter vice president, the award is presented to a school related personnel who exemplifies excellence in promoting the educational process within our schools. Pictured are Mrs. Senn and Mrs. Fonte.
"Mrs. Senn is not afraid to step out of her comfort zone to help bring out the best in students," said Mrs. Fonte. "Her radar for students who might be troubled here at school or at home is very strong. Any student who is feeling depressed, anxious and lonely feels better after her fist pump, smile and kind words. I have told her on numerous occasions that she needs to write a book on parenting. Tracy’s parenting skills are apparent as she addresses each student who comes through her lunch line."
The Gamma Delta Chapter also inducted four current classroom, retired or substitute Grand Island teachers to its Honor Society of Key Women Educators. Having been recommended for their commitment to promoting professional and personal growth of women educators and excellence in education, these women took their oath to serve children and educators, not only here on Grand Island, but beyond our bridges and borders worldwide. Pictured with their red roses, the symbol of DKG are Debra Szflarski, Pamela Suszczynski, Karen Zirnheld and Mary Cecilia Cummings.
