Recognition

I love recognition from students, parents, other teachers, my administration....but what I'd like to speak to here is recognizing someone else, namely Molly Smith. As you know, I have spearheaded her nomination as MEGAT Teacher of the Year. Regardless of what happens with this, I feel good about it. Jenny Jorgensen, Betsy Lane, Linda Cote and I wrote letters on Molly's behalf. We're crossing our fingers. When one of our own is recognized, we are, too. I do believe that. Working here is truly being part of a team.

Here's an email reflecting a nice sentiment about me, speaking of working as a team. If you would like more such, please let me know.

As always, thank you SO MUCH for being a reader and mentor of these stories. It is so helpful to students and I learn from you by observing.
