Teacher Of The Week: Ms. Susan Askinazy​

NORTH BABYLON, NY - Everybody has a favorite teacher — maybe it's a teacher who went out of their way to make one student's day or a teacher who brightens up a classroom, whether virtually or in-person, every day.

One teacher who deserves a shout-out is Ms. Susan Askinazy, a chemistry teacher at North Babylon North School. She was nominated as this week's Teacher of the Week by Jennifer Groh.

Here's what Groh had to say about Ms. Askinazy:

My son had Ms. A as she is affectionately known, for 10th grade chemistry. She was a phenomenal teacher, as well as a mentor to my son Andrew. He has since graduated from the high school, a class of 2020 graduate, and she still serves as inspiration, role model and mentor to my son while he is in college. She is always willing to lend a hand and give time to her students, even those that have graduated, and is the epitome and definition of what a phenomenal teacher is and should be recognized for her dedication to her students.

Congratulations to Ms. Askinazy!
