Michelle Treber and Kelsey Baich win PHM Teacher Impact Awards

ELA 6th grade co-teaching team Michelle Treber and Kelsey Baich got quite the April Fool’s surprise this morning, except it was no joke! Click here to see the full photo gallery below.

With the help of Principal Jennifer Sinclair, P-H-M Superintendent Dr. Jerry Thacker dropped in on Mrs. Treber and Baich’s classes to let them know that they had Penn-Harris-Madison’s highest ELA growth on ILEARN for a 6^th grade co-teaching team.

Other P-H-M Administrators in on the surprise were Dr. Heather Short, Asst. Superintendent; Director of Professional Development Dr. Lavon Dean-Null; Ryan Towner, Director of Literacy; and Gena Todd, Director of Exceptional Education.

In classrooms across the district, our experienced teachers are working hard to help their students learn, retain and grow their knowledge base.

The Spring 2025 P-H-M Teacher Impact Awards are given to educators who had the most significant individual student growth with DIBELS, IREAD, ILEARN, and AP testing. Dr. Thacker awarded three other teachers with Impact Awards on April 1st. Click here more details.

Thank you to the P-H-M Education Foundation for covering the cost for the beautiful crystal awards which teachers can proudly display in their classrooms.
