Congratulations to Dawn Gaedje and Emiliano Geoninatti.

Administrators across the district nominate outstanding educators in their schools, recognizing those who demonstrate exceptional teaching, leadership, and commitment to students.

As part of the district’s New York State Teacher of the Year recognition, Emiliano Geoninatti of R.C. Murphy Middle School was proudly nominated to represent Three Village. A World Language teacher since 2007, Mr. Geoninatti is celebrated for his engaging teaching, unwavering dedication, and ability to build a welcoming, inclusive community where every student feels seen and supported. Principal Michael Jantzen said that from his dynamic classroom environment to school-wide events like basketball and volleyball tournaments, Mr. Geoninatti goes beyond instruction to foster connection, mentorship, and school spirit, making a lasting impact on students, families, and colleagues alike.

Dawn Gaedje of Mount Elementary School was also recognized as a New York State Teacher of the Year nominee. Known for creating a warm, engaging, and supportive classroom environment, Ms. Gaedje inspires students to take risks and grow with confidence. Principal Merrilleen Heidrich said that Ms. Gaedsje sets high expectations while meeting individual needs through thoughtful instruction and demonstrates a strong commitment to literacy and professional growth. Beyond the classroom, she builds meaningful partnerships with families and fosters a strong sense of community, making a lasting impact on her students and the entire Mount school community.

These outstanding teachers exemplify the highest standards of instructional excellence, serving as role models for their colleagues while fostering engaging, supportive, and inspiring learning environments across the district.
