Teacher of the Year Music teacher Marcia Sheremeta, a 32-year-teaching veteran, has been named 2004-05 Hilton Central School District's Teacher of the Year. Nominated by her students and colleagues, Sheremeta received the Hilton Central School Teachers Association award at Hilton High School, presented by HCSTA President Kathleen Donahue who said that she is noted for her "inspirational passion for music." Known for her ability to include every child in chorus at Middle School concert performances, Sheremeta said, "It's all about the kids." She has been instrumental in creating "safe environments" for kids' changing voices; for co-creating the school's Broadway Show Night which features extensive student involvement, their first moment in the spotlight, for the annual talent show and support for solo festival auditions and performances. Last year, Sheremeta inaugurated an Eastman Kodak Co. SNAP Project which featured student photographs, live performances and presentations at the Eastman House and other conferences.
