Jeff Snody is being recognized for his Excellence in Education.
Jeff’s nominator says, “Mr. Snody is the kind of teacher who changes lives. He supports his students, builds their confidence, and makes school a better place for everyone.”
When asked why someone should consider being an educator, Jeff said “Just for the reward you get every day, you know, the smiles, the “hi’s”, the high fives, you know, just the connections that you make with the students. Those emails that you get where it's like, hey, Mr. Snody, you probably don't remember me, but, you know, I'm in college and I'm going into education because of what you did.”
