(KLZA)-- The Falls City Education Foundation has presented their annual Outstanding Teacher of the Year and Outstanding Employee of the Year awards.
Falls City High School science instructor Robert Streit was presented the Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award. Streit is beginning his 28th year of teaching with the Falls City Public Schools.
Mara Dungan is the recipient of the Outstanding Employee of the Year Award. Dungan is starting her 8th year with District 56 having served as a special education paraeducator and is currently the Nutrition Services Coordinator.
When the COVID-19 pandemic threatened the food security for children in the district starting in March, 2020, with less than a week to prepare, the Grab & Go meal program was organized and launched, serving over 600 meals daily from the middle school site. The program continued through the summer of 2021, serving nearly 350 meals per day.
The awards recognize excellence in the field of education. The recipients play key roles in creating a school environment promoting student achievement, safety and health.
The awards were presented Tuesday during the Falls City Public Schools Pre-Service.
