Teacher of the Week is a weekly awards program sponsored by TCT Federal Credit Union and Adirondack Broadcasting that honors local school employees making a positive impact on their students and school communities. Each week during the school year one recipient is selected and announced on air. The Teacher of the Week award comes with a plaque and prizes from local businesses.
“Mrs. Grundler’s love for her special education students is evident in everything she does,” according to the TCT announcement. “She makes it a point to build a rapport with her students and their parents. Many of Mrs. Grundler’s students face challenges to learning, but she goes above and beyond to help them succeed.”
