Celebrating a True Educator: Judith Waker, CCSD Community Champion

At Adam Kutner Cares, we take great pride in shining a spotlight on extraordinary individuals who make a lasting impact on their community. Today, we were able to honor Judith Waker, a Special Education Teacher at Eva G. Simmons Elementary School, as the recipient of the CCSD Community Champion Award.

For the past 18 years, Ms. Waker has dedicated her career to transforming the lives of children in Early Childhood Special Education. Her unwavering passion and commitment have enriched the lives of over 430 Pre-K students with special needs, empowering them to transition to General Education classrooms for kindergarten and beyond successfully.

Ms. Waker’s work goes far beyond teaching—it’s about creating opportunities, fostering inclusion, and giving every child a chance to thrive. Her dedication to helping young learners reach their full potential has left a profound and lasting impact not only on her students but on their families and the entire school community.

This recognition is a testament to her incredible efforts and serves as an inspiration to educators everywhere. Her work reminds us that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.

Please join us in celebrating Ms. Waker and her outstanding contributions to the Clark County School District and the lives of so many children.
