A Shining Star

Sarah was honored as an Outstanding Beginning Teacher of the Year at the Night of the Stars ceremony on Feb. 27. The award is designed to recognize exceptional performance of educators during their first year of teaching. Sarah was nominated by the teachers at her school, St. Lucie Elementary. As a 3rd grade teacher - Sarah inspires, stimulates, and encourages each child every day! Here she is, at home, before the ceremony.

Sarah's 3rd and 4th grade teacher, Lorraine Bernard, was honored as Rivers Edge Elementary's Teacher of the Year. How cool is that! Student and teacher both being honored the same year!

Sarah's best friend, Christy, attended the ceremony with us. Christy is a frequent visitor to Sarah's classroom often arriving with goodies for the kids. The students in Sarah's class think they look like sisters!
