Outstanding Teacher Award Nominations Being Accepted
Deadline: January 5, 2007

Behind the Falls Church City Public Schools’ reputation for excellence stands a cadre of quality teachers. They all deserve recognition, but only one can be selected to be the 2006-2007 Agnes Meyer Outstanding Teacher Award winner.

The annual award is presented by the Washington Post Company Educational Foundation to one teacher in each Northern Virginia school system who instills in students a desire to learn and achieve, understands the individual needs of students and demonstrates a thorough knowledge of subject matter and the ability to share it effectively. The winner will be recognized at a reception and will receive a cash award.

Anyone can nominate a Falls Church City public school teacher for the honor. Additional information, criteria and nomination forms are available online at www.fccps.org. Printed copies can be requested by calling the school division’s central office at (703) 248-5699.

Completed nomination packets are due in the superintendent’s office by January 5, 2007. The office is located at 803 W. Broad Street, Falls Church, VA.
