Emerie Bauer, Learning Strategist at Mendoza Elementary School, was recently surprised as the newest recipient of the Adam Kutner Cares Community Champion Award alongside our partners at CCSD Engage.
Emerie was nominated by fellow teacher Kelley Watkins, who shared that she is one of the kindest, most gracious, and selfless people she knows. As a reading interventionist, Emerie helps students learn to read one sound, one word, and one breakthrough at a time. What makes her impact even more remarkable is that she continues this work while facing a recent breast cancer diagnosis.
Her strength, compassion, and unwavering commitment to her students make a lasting difference in the lives of those she serves and inspire everyone around her.
To celebrate her incredible dedication, Emerie received a commemorative plaque along with tickets to a Vegas Golden Knights game and the unforgettable opportunity to ride the Adam S. Kutner Zamboni during intermission.
Congratulations, Emerie. Your resilience and heart are an inspiration to our entire community.
