Greenwich Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Toni Jones announced that 54 GPS employees have been named GPS’s “Difference Maker” award recipients for the month of December as staff members who have made an overwhelming impact on the lives of others inside and outside of our schools.
“We continue to be grateful and impressed with the amazing support our staff is receiving from the GPS community,” Dr. Jones said. “We created this program to shine a light on the wonderful and selfless work being done throughout our district. As we announce our third month of Difference Makers, we are seeing the depth of talent and caring of individuals that educate and look after our students on a daily basis.”
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.
