Congratulations to Dr. Yemothy, STEM teacher, who has been selected as 1 of 15 teachers from across the nation to be named an Albert Einstein Distinguished Teacher Fellow for 2022-23. The Department of Defense K-12 STEM Office of the Air Force Space Force has selected her to be their 2022-23 Fellow. This honor and work will provide an opportunity for Dr. Yemothy to apply Gettys Middle classroom experiences to federal, congressional, and executive branch offices over the eleven month internship engaged in the national STEM education arena. Dr. Yemothy will benefit from being exposed to the broader perspectives on national education issues that can be applied to her Gettys Middle classroom upon her return. We look forward to her continued leadership in the STEM field.
Yearbooks are almost gone!
