Mason Area Chamber of Commerce Excellence in Education Award
Congratulations to this year’s Mason Chamber of Commerce (MACC) Excellence in Education award winner Allison Altenberger from North Aurelius Elementary!
Mrs. Altenberger has taught special education at North Aurelius Elementary for seven years and supports students in grades 1-5, helping them grow academically and socially.
Her students consistently achieve academic growth, especially in reading and math. She is known for her sense of humor as well as her compassion and dedication and works to build strong relationships with students and families. In addition, she communicates effectively with parents and colleagues creating a positive learning environment.
In her nomination, North Aurelius Principal Mike Prelesnik said, “one of Allison's greatest strengths is her caring nature for each of her students. She is an advocate for them and truly makes a difference in each of their lives.”
A leader at North Aurelius, Mrs. Altenberger serves on the Building Leadership Team and is piloting new math curriculum and interventions. North Aurelius and Mason Public Schools (MPS) are lucky to have her, and we celebrate her well-deserved recognition.
The MACC Excellence in Education award is presented to one educator each year during their annual awards dinner.
