Superintendent Names June Honorees for Difference Makers 2.0 

 

 

Greenwich Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Toni Jones announced the June honorees for “Difference Makers 2.0.”

Difference Maker award recipients are staff members who have made an overwhelming impact on the lives of others inside and outside of our classrooms. This year the district is honoring one from each school and one from each district department who are considered “unsung heroes.”

The Greenwich Public Schools “Difference Maker 2.0” award is presented monthly to full or part-time employees who, through their unique commitment and humanitarian spirit, have made exceptional and lasting contributions to the GPS community through one life-changing event, extraordinary long-lasting efforts, or making a difference in the lives of others every single day. Honorees are officially nominated by principals and district senior leadership. For the past nine months, 167 individuals have been recognized.
