Teacher of the Year

February 24, 2013 by Tamara

I can’t tell you how awesome this weekend was! 🙂  Oh my goodness!  Just feeling so blessed that I had to blog! 🙂  So one of my teaching besties was nominated for Teacher of the Year.  Now, really, it IS an honor just to be nominated, but…I just BELIEVED she would win.  You know when you’ve known someone a really long time, and you just know it is their time…well, it was just her time.  Noris is the type of teacher that I would want my child to have…she’s just that good.  I was so excited to be at her ceremony and be one of the people that has been part of her story over the years.  It was a total blessing to be there and hear them call her name! 🙂  Just amazing.  Here are a few pictures of the evening…

 

 

It was amazing! 🙂  Can’t believe how good the ceremony was…how fun it was to see old friends…how awesome it was to see a dear friend be recognized for how wonderful she really is. 🙂
XOXO
Tamara
