Inspirational Educator Award Winner – Carolyn Gilman
We are thrilled to announce our second Inspirational Educator Award winner, Carolyn Gilman. Carolyn is an English teacher at Olympia High School and was nominated for the award by our first place winner Maisie Maclay. We surprised Ms. Gilman during her first period class so Maisie could share the inspiration for her nomination. Maisie spoke as eloquently as she writes as she told her fellow classmates about how Ms. Gilman has encouraged her in her writing. Also to note, there were 5 students from this class that were part of our top 17 this year. Great job Ms. Gilman. Here’s Maisie’s note for why she nominated Ms. Gilman for this award:
