Michelle Sanchez and Mary Beth Hollinger Win Teacher IMPACT Awards

Retiring P-H-M Superintendent Dr. Jerry Thacker, incoming Superintendent Dr. Heather Short, Principal Amy Fadorsen, incoming Assistant Superintendent Dr. Lavon Dean-Null, and Literacy Director Ryan Towner stopped by Horizon on Monday, June 2nd to surprise a couple of our teachers with a big honor for all their hard work with students: Mary Beth Hollinger and Michelle Sanchez.

Both Hollinger and Sanchez, along with some other teachers also received their “EXPERT” pins for completing LETRS Science of Reading certification!

First grade teacher Mary Beth Hollinger earned an IMPACT award for having the district’s highest DIBELS student growth in first grade. Hollinger was surprised on the playground during recess. Her students and her first grade co-teaching team were thrilled!

Horizon and Prairie Vista Interventionalist Michelle Sanchez was awarded an IMPACT for her work with students to improve IREAD scores. She was caught off guard as well when Dr. Thacker walked in with the award.
