Very Humbling Experience and an Honor

Accepting the Teacher of the Year Award on Friday, March 18 was very humbling.  It was such an honor to represent our middle school students and CCS.  My husband, three children and my mom and dad were in attendance and we were honored to have Mr. Hill sit with our family.  We all sat together for a fantastic meal cooked by Northbrook's Wade Maynard.  Dr. Harris announced the Teachers of the Year and I went up on stage to accept the award. She read all of our accomplishments to those in attendance.  Teaching at Cullman Middle for the past three years has been a dream job for me.  We have wonderful students, parents, teachers, and administrators who really care about each student's learning.  I am able to coach math teams and also 7th grade math, which is my favorite grade thus far to teach.  During the past 20 something years, I have taught everything from geometry, Algebra I and II, Advanced Math for seniors, biology, ecology, reading, but found my niche teaching 7th and 8th graders.  Thanks for making these past three years such good ones for me.  Cullman Middle School is a special place.
