East Providence Teacher Wins “Oscars of Teaching”
On World Teachers’ Day, Hennessey Elementary School in East Providence welcomed leaders from across the state for a surprise of a lifetime for one of our outstanding educators.
Third grade teacher Emily Rendine received a $25,000 Milken Educator Award
presented by the Milken Family Foundation.
Emily was recognized with what is considered the “Oscars of Teaching” for her innovative and motivating teaching style while fostering empowerment and independence amongst her students.
I joined Governor Dan McKee, Lieutenant Governor Sabina Matos, and state and East Providence officials to congratulate Emily and the entire East Providence school community on their special recognition!
We are so grateful to have such a passionate, dynamic, and inspirational educator leading our children and serving as a shining example of educational excellence.
In partnership,
