The Herkimer BOCES Educator Appreciation Spotlight shines on: Gerald Blair!
Assistant Principal of Pathways Academy Terrence Campo submitted the following nomination for Gerald Blair:
“Mr. Blair is outstanding with students – he works hard to build genuine, personal relationships, and his classes are consistently engaging and fun. Beyond the classroom, he contributes so much to our school community. He’s the advisor and organizer of our Creative Writing Lunch Club, creating a space for students to express themselves and connect with peers.
This year, he also stepped up as the advisor for our GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) after the previous advisor left, showing his commitment to supporting all students. In addition, Mr. Blair serves on our Restorative Practices Committee, where his dedication to fostering a positive and inclusive school culture is clear.
He’s a wonderful teacher and a huge part of what makes our school environment so special.”
