2017 DPS Media Coordinator of the Year from Lakewood Montessori
Please join us in congratulating Tori Gredvig as the first winner of a new annual award: 2017 Durham Public Schools Media Coordinator of the Year! Tori is a remarkable media coordinator, dedicated and exemplifying the role. She has been at Lakewood Montessori Middle School for five years, engaging students in the “Learning Commons” with innovative and collaborative projects and involving volunteers from the community including Duke, UNC, and NCCU. She also coached her middle school team to a victory in the 2017 Middle School Battle of the Books competition, advancing to the regionals.
There were 56 nominations for 16 different media coordinators, eight of whom moved onto the final rounds. There was only a three point difference among the three finalists in the scoring of the final application round. Tori will be nominated for the NCSLMA (North Carolina School Library Media Association) Media Coordinator of the Year award.
We would also like to acknowledge finalists Barbara Berry at Githens and Vanessa Calhoun at Carrington Middle School. Special thanks go to the MCOY committee: Michelle Burton, Kim Fawks-Gugino, Jill Hall-Freeman, Elizabeth Husketh, Mary Gray Leonard, Sonya Terry, Jennifer Umbarger, and Ron Wahlen.
