WOODSTOCK — Woodstock Academy science teacher Valerie May has been chosen as a State Finalist for 2015 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST).

The Connecticut  Department of Education State Selection Committee has chosen May in recognition of her outstanding contributions to science education in Connecticut.  She is one of four applications that has been forwarded to the National Science Foundation for review by a prestigious national selection committee.

“This nomination  is well-deserved as Val has made, and continues to make, a huge impact in the education community and at The Academy,” Headmaster Christopher Sandford said.

If recommended by the committee, Mrs. May will be notified in 2016 by The White House and invited to

Washington, D.C. to be honored with the awardees from across the nation at a memorable recognition event.

“This is an incredible honor,” May said. “I am so grateful for the nomination and flattered to be chosen among such a talented group of people.”
