Who is more deserving of recognition for supporting local education and students than those who are there in the trenches every day? For this week’s recognition, Team Uintah is shining a light on teachers and held a barbecue on Thursday to celebrate those teachers finishing up their first year teaching with Uintah School District. “Teaching is a wonderful profession with daily challenges that no amount of college work can fully prepare anyone to handle,” shares Superintendent Mark Dockins. “Yet our teachers try their best to constantly improve in their practice. I am grateful for all of our new teachers and what they have brought to our school district this year. The love and passion these men and women bring to their classrooms reflects what it means to be part of Team Uintah.” This entire school year, Team Uintah has recognized different businesses and community members who have proven their support for local education.
