The Brookline Education Foundation’s annual event in May, “Celebrating Teachers,” is a special opportunity to celebrate the talent, enthusiasm, and dedication that Brookline’s educators bring to our schools each day. The 2025 event will be held this year on May 6th, in the STEM Commons at Brookline High School at 3:30 pm.
All educators who have been awarded a grant this year will be recognized. Recipients of teacher, collaborative, and systemwide grants, Margaret Metzger fellowships, as well as the Adam Russell Gelfand Fellowship, the David E. Pradell Award, and the Charlie Baker Legacy Award, will be announced. The highlight of the event will be the introduction of the Caverly Award recipients, Amanda Kretchmar of the Pierce School and Lisa Rodriguez of Brookline High School. It is always a wonderful event and a great opportunity to show our appreciation for our inspiring and dedicated teachers – please plan to join us!
