Greenwich Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Toni Jones announced today that 53 GPS employees have been named GPS’s “Difference Maker” award recipients for the month of November as staff members who have made an overwhelming impact on the lives of others inside and outside of our schools.
“Every staff member that steps foot into one of Greenwich’s school buildings can make a significant difference in the lives of our students each and every day,” Dr. Jones said. “It is to no one’s surprise that we are receiving such an amazing response to this new district initiative. Family members, coworkers, and students continue to enthusiastically share who are the Difference Makers in their lives.”
The Greenwich Public Schools “Difference Maker” award is presented monthly to full or part-time employees who, through their unique commitment and humanitarian spirit, have made exceptional and lasting contributions to the GPS community through one life-changing event, extraordinary long-lasting efforts, or making a difference in the lives of others every single day. Each building holds its individual celebrations to honor winners with certificate presentations and other recognitions.
GPS families, students, co-workers, or community members can nominate their difference maker online and is open to all employees of Greenwich Public Schools, full or part time, in good standing. It excludes contractors or employees of other town agencies. Nominators can be staff, families, students, or community members.
