I am excited to announce that we have declared 4 teachers as our "10 Week Tech Challenge Champions" for the 2021-2022 school year. A challenge was issued to teachers about 10 weeks ago meant to give all the chance to sharpen their tech skills in the classroom. A new tech challenge was issued each week over the course of the 10 weeks. This group completed each of the challenges that was sent their way. With all of the challenges that teachers already face on a daily basis, we understand this is no small feat. Here they are holding their trophies and some of the goodies they won! Congratulations! Denny Hammond Instructional Technology Coach
