‘Awesome Staff Awards’ were announced during Tuckaway‘s Professional Development Day on February 17, our 2014. Tuckaway families nominated staff with many accolades and kind words. Each award is named after Tuckaway’s longest tenured staff members, who have displayed the special traits that their award honors and are voted on by the parents of our schools.
