πŸŽ‰ March Employee of the Month πŸŽ‰

Congratulations to Keely Balcer, Bangor North Preschool Teacher, on being named our March Employee of the Month!

Keely’s dedication, teamwork, and heart for her students truly shine each day. From stepping up during times of short staffing, to staying late to support families, to sharing her learning with colleagues - she consistently goes above and beyond for those around her. πŸ’™

Her passion for early childhood education is evident in the engaging and meaningful experiences she creates for her students. Keely’s classroom is a place where children feel supported, excited, and eager to learn. We are also proud of her commitment to growth as she continues to pursue her Master’s degree in Educational Leadership!

As Director Nichole Keister shared, Keely has been a natural educator since her student teaching days, and it’s no surprise that so many families request her by name. She builds strong relationships and creates an environment where students thrive.

Congratulations, Keely!πŸΎπŸ’™

πŸ“’ Additional Opportunities for Superintendent Search Input

Bangor Township Schools is committed to gathering meaningful feedback from our community as we begin the search for our next superintendent.

To provide even more opportunities for input, three additional in-person listening sessions have been added to Thursday. These sessions are designed to help us better understand the qualities, leadership traits, and priorities our community would like to see in the next superintendent.

All sessions are open to parents, families, and community members of Bangor Township Schools. Staff are welcome to attend any of the scheduled sessions; however, we kindly ask that staff refrain from attending the Wednesday 5:30 p.m. session so that community members’ voices can be prioritized during that time.

Attending a session is not required to participate in the process. Community members, staff, and families are also encouraged to share their input through the online survey, which will carry the same weight as attending an in-person session.

Your voice is important as we shape the future leadership of Bangor Township Schools.

πŸ“… In-Person Sessions

Wednesday, March 18
β€’ 2:30 p.m. – John Glenn High School
β€’ 3:30 p.m. – Bangor West Elementary
β€’ 5:30 p.m. – Edison Administration Building (community-focused session)

Thursday, March 19
β€’ 7:00 a.m. – Christa McAuliffe Middle School
