Annually, the Toronto Educators Association for Mathematics (TEAMS) awards The Angelina Pizzirusso Memorial Award, based on effort and persistence by students who persevere when learning mathematics.
Angelina Pizzirusso was a mathematics teacher, department head, and a secondary mathematics resource teacher at Toronto Catholic District School Board for over 25 years and an active member of TEAMS and the Ontario Association for Mathematics Education (OAME).
Congratulations to St. Joan of Arc Catholic Academy student Dominic H. for receiving his certificate of nomination, supported by teacher Stephanie Belcastro, for his persistence and resilience in Grade 9 Mathematics.
Well done, Dominic!
