GHS TEACHER RECIPIENT OF PRESTIGIOUS MILKEN AWARD by Terri M. Fiondella Public Information/Relations Officer Guilford Public Schools Janet Steele, a representative of the Milken Foundation and a former winner herself, officially presented the award to Gardner. Steele traveled from the West Coast to be present for the ceremony. Steele explained that the purpose of the Award is to strengthen the education profession by celebrating and rewarding outstanding educators for their achievements, expanding their opportunities for professional growth, and uniting them in a nationwide network aimed at reforming education through action. Commissioner Sergi said he was very pleased to be a part of this ceremony. He recognized Gardner as a representative of the more than 45,000 dedicated Connecticut educators and praised her for a great job and her commitment to educating our youth. Using this time to speak to a captive audience, Sergi urged young people to consider teaching as a career opportunity as the state, as well as the nation, will be facing a surge of teacher retirements in the next few years. She added, when she was in high school, as the students in the audience are now, she never dreamed she would be taking part in a ceremony like this and accepting such a prestigious award.
