Way, WAY Better that Oprah's Favorite Things...

During 4th period Friday I was taken by surprise. The Ogden City School Board President & Vice President came into my room to tell me I was chosen for the district's Empowering Excellence Through Education Award

BUT ... even better, and even more tear worthy, I got an "O Captain, My Captain" by two of my students standing on their desks! (thanks Alex and Mitchell).... and I'm not even a dead poet. Generally, the certificate says I'm doing a spiffy job... but more powerfully, my students tell my heart everyday...

HUGS to all my students, you're all too wonderful!
