Congratulations to Amy Ertelt for receiving the NDDPI award for excellence in early childhood instruction for her thoughtful developed academic, social emotional and behavioral foundations for young learners. The preschool foundation she provides for young learners is evident in her structured classroom environment, shaped by intentional routines and hands-on exploration that help preschool students grow in confidence, independence, and readiness for school. Beyond the classroom, Amy strengthens both the middle block and elementary school through her leadership in professional learning, modeling of effective early learning practices, and strong partnerships with families. Her calm presence, deep care for children, and lasting relationships with students throughout the community reflect the profound impact she has on the school culture and its youngest learners. Congratulations, Miss Amy!!!!
