NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH – Superintendent John Antonucci is pleased to announce that a Joseph W. Martin Elementary School third grade teacher was awarded the North Attleborough/Plainville Rotary Club’s Outstanding Educator Award.
Joseph W. Martin Elementary School third grade teacher Patricia Tannock was this year’s recipient of the Outstanding Educator Award.
Tannock was honored by the North Attleborough/Plainville Rotary Club at their 37th Annual Distinguished Service Award Banquet on Monday, March 20, at the Heather Hill Country Club in Plainville. Also in attendance were Tannock’s children, Kayla and Christopher Tannock, as well as several past and present North Attleborough staff members.
“Patti is an exceptional choice for the Outstanding Educator Award and I would like to thank the North Attleborough/Plainville Rotary Club for recognizing her as such,” said Superintendent Antonucci. “She represents all that is good about the North Attleborough Public Schools – she is smart, talented, dedicated and, most importantly, she puts students first. She is truly deserving of this honor and I ask that you all join me in congratulating her.”
Tannock was nominated for the award by her colleagues at the Martin Elementary School who recognized her for her attitude, dedication, passion and the life-changing work she does for her students.
Tannock has been an educator for 36 years, having spent the past 22 years at the Martin Elementary School. She spent the first 19 years of her career teaching special education and the past 17 years teaching third grade.
Tannock is most well-known for the deep connections she has cultivated with her students and colleagues. Many of her students come back to the Martin school to visit or volunteer following graduation, and most of her colleagues have become Tannock’s closest friends outside of work.
She thanked her peers for their support and collaboration, specifically during the past couple of years of teaching during the pandemic.
“I’m feeling incredibly overwhelmed by the love and support of my colleagues, family and friends for receiving the Outstanding Educator Award,” said Tannock. “This award is really a representation of the hard work and dedication of the team of teachers I get to work with every day. The real reward is the ability to ignite a student’s enthusiasm for learning. “
