In August, LSG e-mailed again to let me know I was chosen as “Teacher of the Year” and offered to fly my wife, Alina Tullmann, and I to New York City to attend the annual LSG Gala, where I will be recognized for my art-infused project. We are very excited about flying to New York City on Oct. 23-26. My good friends and colleagues, Kristen Lowry and Jillayne M. Lowe, will also be joining us!
I look at this honor as more than applauding one person, but celebrating a community of learning. Without my Richland School District peers, administration, and district's continued support and encouragement to enrich student's education, this honor could not be achieved.
I would like to thank all of my teachers, mentors, principals, colleagues, coaches, family, and friends, for your role in investing in myself, as well as other learners by inspiring creativity, positivity, and passionate teaching and learning. But above, I thank God, the first Creator and first Teacher, who been faithful through the bad and the good.
