Harford Glen hosts 7th Annual Harford County Environmental Scholarship & Green Awards Event
Harford Glen recently hosted the 7th Annual Environmental Scholarship and Green Awards event. The Green Awards are presented to committed volunteers, local businesses and educators who are dedicated to the support of Harford Glen and Environmental Education in Harford County Public Schools.

This year’s Green Teachers of the year were announced and celebrated for their dedication to consistently integrate environmental themes into their teaching. Mrs. Linda McDonough, science instructor at the Aberdeen High School Science and Mathematics Academy, was named the secondary Green Teacher of the year. Mr. Mike O’Brien, principal of Aberdeen High School, stated, “Because of the efforts of Linda and her students, we have been and continue to be a Maryland Green School."

Mrs. Frann Geraghty, kindergarten teacher at Forest Hill Elementary, was named the Elementary Green Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Geraghty was described by her principal, Mrs. Tammy Bosley, “as the epitome of a cross curricular connections teacher who engages her students in meaningful real life problem solving.”



The 2015 Environmental Scholarship winners were also announced at the event. They were:  Caitlyn McGill, Aberdeen High School; Amy Nowaskey, Bel Air High School; Sarah Davis, C. Milton Wright High School; Derek Xiao, Fallston High School; Abigail Rossman, Harford Technical High School; Brett Wilson, Havre De Grace High School; Andrew Hurley, North Harford High School; and Abby Mervine, Patterson Mill High School.
