FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Receives $5,000 cash and podcast feature

Marcy Anderson, a 2nd-grade teacher at Manchester Park Elementary School, has been given the prestigious Honored National Teaching Award for March 2025. As part of her honor, she received a $5,000 cash award and was featured on Inspiring Teachers: The Honored Podcast.

Marcy’s teaching is rooted in the understanding that all children have something unique to bring to the classroom. By taking the time to get to know each student, Marcy can strike the perfect balance between providing work that is supportive and challenging. Through building connections with her students, she creates an environment where students feel safe, supported, and confident.

Marcy was nominated for the Honored Award by her student, Ben, and Ben’s mom, Jessica. Jessica shares how in just two weeks of knowing Ben, Marcy became an advocate for him—speaking up for his learning needs in his IEP meeting. Her ability to recognize when a child needs help is truly a gift that has had a lasting impact on Ben and his family. In Ben’s words, Marcy “is unforgettable. She is kind, strong, helpful, smart, powerful, and always awesome. She is the best teacher ever, and she should never change.”
