Recently this article appeared in our local newspaper, The Daily Oklahoman:
Yes, they actually printed something about a teacher that didn’t involve, sex, drugs or alcohol or being arrested….shocking, I know.
I never intended for this to get so publicized. I told my principal and my Fine Arts Coordinator hoping to be mentioned in our district newsletter. Before I knew it, they had it posted on the district’s home page and then the newspaper. I guess I’ve had my 5 minutes of fame! I really am humbled by this award. I never dreamed of being a recipient!
Thanks for all the kind words from everyone!
I know I have been absent from my blog for quite awhile but school has just about gotten the best of me. I hope to get everyone caught up this weekend!
I’m honored to know this year’s Director of Distinction! I’m so glad they made sure it was publicized so you could receive all the accolades you so richly deserve. JoAnn, you work hard as a middle school vocal music teacher and you worked even harder for the years you were on the board and President of OCDA. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Wow! Congratulations! That is wonderful. You so deserve it!
We need more teachers like you. Bravo!
YAY! …Something we all already knew about you… but now everyone in the state does! Congrats!!!
Congratulations and welcome back.
Hurray that they publicized this. You deserve it – the award and the publicity! Congratulations, again!
