In a well-deserved recognition, Amy Vollendorf, a dedicated special education teacher at Wayzata High School, has been named the Teacher of the Week by KS95 radio station.
This accolade highlights Vollendorf’s exceptional contributions to education and her commitment to the well-being of her students.
The acknowledgment took center stage on the morning show of KS95 on November 7, where Vollendorf was interviewed about her teaching journey and the impact she has had on her students, particularly those identified with Asperger’s.
The hosts of the show have extended their admiration beyond the airwaves and will be visiting Wayzata High School in the coming week to personally recognize Vollendorf and her students.
Vollendorf’s dedication and passion in working with students who have unique needs, such as those identified with Asperger’s, have not gone unnoticed.
The Teacher of the Week award is not only a testament to her exceptional teaching skills but also a celebration of the positive influence she has had on the lives of her students.
The nomination for this esteemed award came from two parents of seniors at Wayzata High School, underscoring the impact Vollendorf has made on both students and their families.
The recognition by KS95 is a fitting tribute to an educator who goes above and beyond to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
As the KS95 team prepares to visit Wayzata High School, the entire community looks forward to celebrating Amy Vollendorf’s well-deserved recognition.
