The Rotary Club of Alderwood-Terrace names an Educator of the Month for the Edmonds School District each month during the school year.

Jenica Valdivia, a Brier Elementary School first-grade teacher, was honored for June. Valdivia has been with the district for 11 years, working at Brier Elementary the past four. Staff members described her as “instrumental in many behind-the-scenes events,” “hard-working” and a “great, organized teacher.”

Jami Wollan is an intensive support paraeducator, working with students with the highest needs at Mountlake Terrace Elementary School, and was honored for May. “She is amazingly patient and kind but she also holds students to a high expectation and helps them to achieve their true potential,” Principal Doug Johnson said.

Sharon Kriskovich, a Lynnwood High School ethnic studies teacher, was the April Rotary Club of Alderwood-Terrace Educator of the Month.
