Board Recognition:
Aimee Schade, master teacher at West Goshen, was recognized by the board after she was named the recipient of the 2016 Milken Educator Award, and given a cash prize of $25,000. Mrs. Schade stated that she was very shocked on the day of the presentation, but is pleased that the honor allows her to attend the national TAP conference at no expense to her or the school district. Dr. Woodworth added that GCS is very proud of Mrs. Schade’s work, and pleased for her to be honored in such a manner.

The last recognition was a surprise for Dr. Woodworth, as Kevin Deary, President/CEO of the Boys and Girls Club was at the meeting to recognize her service on the club’s board for three consecutive 3-year terms. He noted that Dr. Metcalfe will be replacing Dr. Woodworth on the board, and thanked Dr. Woodworth “for all you do for our children when people are looking, and also when no one is looking”. Dr. Woodworth thanked Mr. Deary and said that she appreciates the great collaboration between Goshen schools and the Boys and Girls Club of Goshen.
