KATIE HINCHCLIFFE RECOGNIZED AS THE 227TH RECIPIENT OF BRIDGE-BUILDER AWARD
Katie Hinchcliffe, a Special Education teacher with Carnation Elementary’s I-SET program, is the 227th recipient of the Riverview School District’s Bridge-Builder Award. Nominated by Superintendent, Dr. Susan Leach, Hinchcliffe received the award at the April 25, 2023, School Board Meeting.
The Bridge-Builder Award consists of a lapel pin and poem, given in memory of Donna Polacek, the district’s long-time Personnel Director who always went the extra mile to give much more than was expected to the staff and students of Riverview.
Periodically, throughout a school year, Bridge-Builder Awards are given to those who help further the mission and goals in Riverview.
