NORTH BRUNSWICK – A special education teacher who was instrumental in developing the Autistic Spectrum Disorder Program at North Brunswick Township High School (NBTHS) has been honored for her contributions to the school.
Kristine Noonan is one of the “Teachers Who Make Magic” for the Class of 2017 from WMGQ Magic 98.3 FM.
“She spent countless hours reorganizing a club storage area to make it one of the most productive and magnificent student work spaces. Kristine has also worked with NBTHS Dining Services to prepare menus and complete tasks needed for lunch periods, and has teamed up with district custodians and local farmers markets, along with other local businesses. She even started a vegetable garden on school grounds,” Principal Pete Clark wrote in his nomination letter.
Noonan also participates in the annual Autism Baseball Tournament, organizes and attends the yearly Junior Prom, and provides the skills and encouragement to her students to gain the courage to recite the pledge of allegiance over the loud speaker.
“Kristine Noonan is dedicated to making sure students are respected and admired by both staff, fellow students and parents at NBTHS,” the post on Magic 98.3 reads.
