Rosendale-Second grade teacher Lynn Alsum and secretary Jean Marchant are the recipients of Eastern Wisconsin Excellence in Education awards in recognition of their efforts and accomplishments in the Rosendale-Brandon School District. Twenty-four school districts in eastern Wisconsin partner with WFRV-Channel 5 to recognize exceptional school employees. “I am thrilled for both Lynn and Jean to receive this public recognition. They both go above and beyond every day and bring so much joy to our schools. They always put kids first and are willing to work with all kids to help them be successful,” stated Mrs. Owens, the principal at Rosendale Primary and Brandon Elementary School.
Alsum, who’s been with the District for 31 years, and Marchant, who’s been with the District for 37 years, will be recognized at an awards ceremony held on Saturday, May 18, 2024, at the Kiel Area School District Performing Arts Center. The program will be live streamed on wearegreenbay.com.
The recognition program allows parents, students, community members, and staff to nominate deserving school employees in the following categories:
● Innovation in work (How has the employee demonstrated innovation in his/her work area?)
● Culture creator in the work environment (How has the employee gone above and beyond in creating a positive school culture?)
● Social/emotional well being (How has the employee impacted the social/emotional well being of students and/or the school environment?)
● Community involvement (How has the employee positively impacted the community?)
● Student connection (In what ways has the employee built positive relationships with students?)
Following the nomination deadline, a panel of judges reviewed nominations to determine finalists. These finalists were asked to elaborate on the work outlined in the nomination. The judges then selected award recipients in each of the five categories.
