Menomonee Falls School District Wins Award

The Menomonee Falls Mentoring Program was one of six winners of the 2001 NEA-Saturn/UAW Partnership Award for Teacher Mentoring Programs.

NEA President Bob Chase said judges chose the Menomonee Falls program because of its union-management partnership and outstanding mentoring assistance for new teachers.

The presentation of the awards will take place June 30 in Los Angeles. Two representatives from the School District of Menomonee Falls will be invited to accept the award on behalf of the school district.

A second event will honor the winners during American Education Week in November. Two representatives from the district will travel to Spring Hill, Tenn., to tour the Saturn plant and share ideas about union-management partnerships.
