Teacher of the Week Awarded to Mr. Jerry Hicks, Queensbury Middle School

QUEENSBURY, N.Y. - Jan. 8, 2018 - PRLog -- Each week during the school year, TCT Federal Credit Union salutes local educators and school employees for their outstanding efforts during the year. For the week of January 8, 2018, the Teacher of the Week Award was presented to Mr. Jerry Hicks, a 6th Grade Math Teacher at the Queensbury Middle School.

"It is Mr. Hicks' sense of humor that makes him a great teacher. Middle school math can be a big jump for a lot of students, he always encourages his students to do their best and is always there to share a laugh or a funny joke. Mr. Hicks' rapport and interaction with his students is excellent and that helps bring out the best in them."
