Maggie Lawrence believes in all children and their ability to succeed in life.
In her TIGERS classroom, she has created an environment that challenges students’ cognitive abilities, supports their IEP goals, and encourages their social and emotional growth. She has also changed the mindset and teaching of her colleagues.
She has mentored and supported her colleagues in developmental practices, helping them set high expectations and create learning experiences that they didn’t see possible for their students. Maggie empowers families to see the potential in their children and embodies excellence by inspiring everyone she touches.
The 2024 Tempe Elementary Excellence Awards is a program of recognition that allows our district to honor employees that demonstrate excellence in their work. This year’s awards encompasses one winner from each Tempe Elementary school or site including the three District office locations of Brogan, Bustoz, and Sanchez. In total, we have 26 Excellence Award Winners this school year.
All employees were encouraged to nominate any fellow district employee who has embodied our District theme of Believe.
