Louise Wachter, Early Childhood Special Education Teacher at B.A. Kennedy was presented with the May Lemke Special Service Award at the Wisconsin Council for Exceptional Children Conference at UW Whitewater on Saturday, October 18th.
This award recognizes a person who has provided outstanding service and who demonstrates the qualities of exceptional perseverance, love, courage and leadership to or for children and youth with special needs. The award nomination consisted of letters of support from former parents/grandparents, district superintendent and building principal.
Louise demonstrates these qualities daily in her work with students, parents, community members and fellow colleagues. She has touched many lives and has helped many students to have a strong educational foundation. Mrs. Wachter is in her 37th year of teaching in the Prairie du Chien School District, and continues to be a fantastic educator and child advocate. This award could not go to a more deserving recipient!
