Pair of DCS teachers receive accolades

Rynish recognized as Outstanding Educator
Congratulations to science teacher Maureen Rynish on being recognized as a Capital District YMCA Outstanding Educator.
Each year, the Schenectady County YMCA branches honor teachers from several school districts for their contributions to students and the community, as well as for the inspiration they offer their peers.
 

Henderson honored with Tech Valley Innovative Educator Award
Congratulations also to fifth-grade teacher Henry Henderson who was recently honored with a Tech Valley Innovative Educator Award for the outstanding work he is doing to prepare the region's students for high-tech careers.

"Without the fifth-graders, our technology adventures would not have been as exciting and fun," said Henderson as he accepted the award at a ceremony held at the Duanesburg Elementary School on April 4.

The remark is indicative of the kind of teacher Henderson is, placing the focus back on his students. 

"He is really good with us," said fifth-grade student Lydia Mackie, "he's fun but easy to understand - he's my favorite teacher." For more information about Tech Valley, visit:http://www.techvalley.org.
