The Service Personnel of the Year award went to Nicole McCulley, a media library aide at Center McMechen Elementary School and Glen Dale Elementary School. The Teacher of the Year award went to Abby Edman, a fourth grade teacher at Central Elementary School.
Both women were excited and honored to receive their awards.
