From RSD news…
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.
Click through to read more about Katie’s recognition and the nomination, as presented by Dr. Leach.
Congratulations Katie!
