Sen. Mike Padden with Ned Fadeley, 2012 Civic Educator of the Year for the 4th Legislative District in the Spokane Valley, in the Senate Chamber.
On Monday Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley, honored West Valley School District teacher Ned Fadeley, a top finalist for the Washington State Legislative Civic Educator of the Year Award. Padden presented Fadeley with a certificate recognizing his hard work and achievement, while many of Fadeley’s students who were able to make the trip to Olympia looked on.
“Ned Fadeley is a truly remarkable educator,” said Padden. “He continually demonstrates a level of commitment to his students and dedication to service and excellence that has been fully reflected in everything he does, leading to one of the state’s most innovative high school civic curriculums, which has put his school on the cutting edge of education reform.”
