Connie Sgriccia
Penns Manor Elementary School
Clymer, Pennsylvania
WOW! What a great- love those kids- Physical Education
Teacher! She is top notch, at the peak of her career, a great, mature,
creative dedicated broad based fitness teacher!
Connie received a Project Fit America grant in 2006 and since that time
we can not find enough adjectives to describe her! If you set foot into
her gym you would see her kids goal setting, challenging themselves,
kids loving to be active and supporting one another. Before school you
would find Connie running an action based learning lab for kindergarten
students combining both academics and physical activity based on the
work of Dr. Jean Blaydes.
She works with the guidance counselor to develop activities for character education. Together creating a “starfish” day based on a character trait of the month. Lots of team building and cooperative social interaction. When the school day is over she partnered with her sponsor of the Project Fit America grant, Indiana Regional Medical Center, to offer a program to adults to teach about healthy eating and nutrition. Her principal writes to us “ In my opinion, selfless service and dedication to students are two of the most important qualities of an outstanding teacher. Mrs. Sgriccia has always demonstrated these two qualities.” Connie is the whole package. It comes from her heart and soul and you could not stop her if you tried! She is the very embodiment of what it means to be a National All Star Teacher.
