L I F E Biddeford TA Member Named Consumer Science Teacher of the Year
“Vicki rose to the challenge and has made coming to this new school an easy transition and a positive experience.”
Practical skills for daily life are the focus of Vicki Lee’s Family and Consumer Sciences classes at Biddeford Middle School. The Biddeford Unified Arts classes have been so popular with students that enrollment was full during the previous school year. On top of Family and Consumer Science, Lee took on the task of offering Health class as well, and now due to her determination and creativity, Lee has been named the 2021 Family and Consumer Sciences Teacher of the Year by the Maine Association of Family and Consumer Sciences. “I was surprised to receive the award. We had a school-wide Zoom meeting during lunch, and it was great to have the reaction of students who reached out to me after the ceremony to congratulate me. The recognition from my peers is wonderful, but the reaction from students was priceless,” said Lee.
