Thanks to a livestream set up as a way to engage families, parents were able to share in the school鈥檚 annual egg hatching science lesson, which Rakus has bolstered over the last five years. The lesson, in fact, recently earned the Northeast Philadelphia native recognition as one of five 鈥渙utstanding teachers honored for their innovation, creativity, and commitment to the students they serve鈥 by FACTS, a Nelnet school management company. Rakus鈥 distinction, from among more than 100 applicants nationwide, included a $5,000 honorarium, a $1,000 donation to SMIPS, and a free trip to the Elevate 2024 conference in Atlanta, Ga., in June 2024, where she will present her innovative concept to the FACTS community.
