Teacher of the Year:

2008 Teacher of the Year, Julie Rickett and finalists Nicole Orswell and Melinda Danielson.





The Downtown Rotary Club of Fort Collins initiated the Teacher-of the Month/Year program in 1994. The program was such a success that our Club and the Breakfast Club were invited to participate. Each month during the academic year, each of these three Rotary Clubs selects a teacher for recognition as that Club's Teacher-of-the-Month. The recognized and honored teacher comes to a Club meeting, makes a presentation and receives a plaque that commemorates their recognition from the club.

At the end of the year, a joint committee from the three clubs selects a Teacher of the Year and one or two finalists. The finalists are recognized at a tri-club meeting held in the spring or early fall. At this meeting the Teacher of the Year and the finalists receive another plaque and the Teacher of the Year is also recognized with a Paul Harris Fellow.
