Join us in celebrating Darby Township School 5th grade teacher Brittany Kristman, who was recently honored with the Philadelphia Eagles Nouryon All-Pro Teacher Award!
Ms. Kristman was one of just 10 teachers selected this year for the prestigious award, which recognizes outstanding educators within a 70-mile radius of Philadelphia. She was celebrated at a recent Eagles game at Lincoln Financial Field, where she was recognized on the field in front of more than 60,000 fans and received a personalized Eagles jersey.
Even more special, she was nominated by fellow Darby Township teacher Rosie Cavanagh, who shared:
“I nominated Ms. Kristman for this award due to her dedication and willingness to help all students & staff at all times. I truly believe she goes above and beyond to make our school a better place.”
Congratulations, Ms. Kristman! Go Birds! 🦅
