My Hometown Schools C-C teacher receives Golden Apple Award

Churchville Elementary School teacher Katie McArdle is the latest to receive WROC TV Channel 8’s coveted Golden Apple Award. She was nominated by the parents of one of her kindergarten students.

The Golden Apple Award was presented to Mrs. McArdle in a surprise visit to her classroom by WROC reporter Katrina Irwin and CES Principal Kate Daly. While McArdle was completely caught off guard, her students loved the excitement of the TV cameras, and several were interviewed about their teacher.

The Golden Apple Award recognizes excellence in teaching around the Rochester area. The nominating parent wrote, “Mrs. McArdle is every parent’s dream… she shines in how she goes above and beyond. Whether it is getting all her students to write and draw pictures for Damar Hamlin or getting her entire hallway (and now school) to decorate during the holidays… (She) had all of kindergarten dressed as Minions, singing minions songs… fun seeps out of her room into the whole school. She makes people want to be at school, kids and teachers alike. Mrs. McArdle just always adds a little bit extra, but it makes a big impact.”

The spot will air on WROC TV 8 on March 28 between 5:30 and 6 p.m.
