Rowan Prior and Max Leubner from West Genesee High School; Azdha Mundath and Devin Snell from Camillus Middle School; and Abigail Ames and Myles Avery from West Genesee Intermediate School were honored by the Camillus Optimists with the David Kenna Outstanding Student Award.
Gregory Borsz (West Genesee High School Instrumental Music teacher), Tanja Cosentino (Camillus Middle School ENL teacher); Melanie Callahan (West Genesee Intermediate School ELA teacher), and Kathleen Kolb (Split Rock Kindergarten teacher) each received the 2023 Joseph A. Witowski Outstanding Teacher Award.
Honorees and their families were guests of the Optimists on October 29, 2024 at the Tuscarora Golf Club. School administrators introduced each honoree and described their unique contributions. Optimist David Philippone and Gil Schnorr coordinated the program.
Teachers were selected by their peers for being sensitive to the needs of their students; for creating an exciting and challenging classroom atmosphere; and contributing to the quality of instruction at West Genesee.
