May 28, 2015 — by Mark Berglund. Marilyn Eggert said she loves her job as a special education aide at Medford Area Senior High. The love shows every day and students noticed this year as she was selected educator of the year. The award, sponsored by the MASH student council, was presented on Thursday morning during the academic excellence assembly in the gymnasium.

Eggert was nominated along with science teachers Tracy Swedlund, Brad Paff, art teacher Sharon Hause, choir teacher Cassie Jablonsky, librarian Pat Eloranta, special education aide Bonnie Engle and Nicole Gripentrog, who leads the SOAR program.

Eggert is the first non-teacher to receive the award in the three year history of the award. Math teachers Brad Borchardt and Jason Krueger won the award the first two years.

“I am extremely humbled to receive this honor,” Eggert said. “I am so privileged and proud to be able to work here with the teachers and kids.”
