Pride of Peoria

On St. Patrick's Day, I had quite a wonderful surprise, when in the middle of teaching, the Public Relations person from the district walked in with a video camera followed by my principal with flowers and the people I teach with. I had been named a Pride of Peoria winner! This is the most coveted award in the district as you are nominated by your co-workers. Never had I imagined this! I was given a portfolio of all the nominating letters received on my behalf. Then last Thursday night was the awards dinner. Twenty teachers and twenty support staff were honored. It was truly amazing! I think it was the most memorable event in my career. I wanted to share with you all!
