🎉 Celebrating Excellence in Teaching 🎉

The WTA is very proud to share the wonderful news about our fellow teacher, Marie Lysandrou!

Marie has been named the recipient of the 2026 Mid-Hudson School Study Council Teaching Excellence Award — and we couldn’t be happier for her!

This award is designed to recognize teachers who have demonstrated excellence in achieving the educational mission at their district level and recognizes educators who go above and beyond for their students and truly make a difference in their schools. Anyone who knows Marie sees that dedication every single day. She brings passion, care, and commitment to her students and to our entire school community.

Being recognized by the Mid-Hudson School Study Council is such a meaningful honor, and it reflects the impact Marie has made not just in her classroom, but across our district.

Marie, we celebrate you and all that you do. This is so well deserved, and we are lucky to learn and grow alongside you every day.

❤️ Congratulations! ❤️
