VJ Mancuso Memorial Fund is always proud to support Rockwood Parents as Teachers - a big congratulations to Barbara on winning the Mary Wanzel Excellence in Education Award.

We look forward to another great school year with REC. (see you 9/20/25 @ VJ Trivia)

On Friday, our very own Barbara Rogers was awarded the Mary Wanzel Excellence in Education Award!

Barbara is truly dedicated to the Rockwood Early Childhood Program and has been for the last 33 years. Her work with PAT exemplifies everything this award is about and we are so happy she received this well deserved recognition!

Here is information about the Mary Wanzel Excellence in Education Award.

Mary was a beloved Early Childhood teacher in Rockwood who taught from 1987-1995 and passed away suddenly at a young age. Mary was a teacher in every sense of the word. She instilled a love of learning in every child. She made learning fun. She was famous for her ability to recycle materials for teaching opportunities. Mary saw strengths in every child and went out of her way to make each child feel special. In an effort to honor her dedication and love of children and keep her spirit alive, the Mary Wanzel Excellence in Education Award was created.

This individual must have demonstrated:
-Commitment as seen through outstanding “on job performance.”
-Human Relations Skills seen through supporting co-workers, parents and children
-Dedication working to promote and support the ideals, mission and growth of the Rockwood Early Childhood Program

Congratulations Barbara!!! 🌟
