4/29/15... a very special morning !!

The morning started very odd for me... I was told to meet my Principal in the office at 8 am to ride with her to some breakfast at The Biltmore Resort... it was for the AMLA... so I assume something with Language Arts... (LA) . So, off we go... I get there and see many Superintendents from various districts and another Principal I know came up and said "Congratulations!" I of course was confused until she gave me the guide for the morning ceremony. I received an award for the Arizona Middle Level Educator of the Year for 2014-2015! Needless to say I was at a total loss for words and in shock. My Principal said she had kept it a secret for this very reaction I had!!! They called my name and on the screen were sentences about me as a teacher as they read a paragraph about me as an educator and person. I could not tell you what was said because again I was in shock. Pictures are below.. and a blurry quick video... it was a great moment  that I will hold near and dear to my heart.
