Our very own Mr.Bill Boerman will get the chance to be honored this year by the AirZoo in Battle Creek MI.

Each year the AirZoo honors both educators and high school students for their excellence and innovation in the teaching of STEM subjects. Mr. Boerman was notified a couple weeks ago that he had been chosen to receive the Educator Excellence Award. This award is given to four educators from 13 total counties in West Michigan! The award recognizes "excellence and innovation in the teaching of STEM subjects, the fostering of deep and meaningful student learning, and generation of exceptional student achievement."

Mr. Boerman will be honored with other winners at the "Hall of Fame Awards" on April 21st at the AirZoo. Along with the ceremony, each Educator Excellence Award winner is given $750 to further the creative learning taking place in their classrooms. Separate from the award, the staff at East has sponsored three 6th grade students to enable them to attend the awards ceremony as well. These students are currently being fitted with new clothes and 'accessories' for our evening at the AirZoo.

Congrats Mr.Boerman! Thank you for continuing to make us HPS Proud!
