I feel a little funny posting this, but in September I found out I was voted "Best Middle School Teacher" in the "Best of Burke" competition this year.  Our Board of Education ran this ad in the newspaper a few weeks ago, which features the "Best of Burke" teacher from each school. :)

In other school news, I also recently became the assistant cheerleading coach, and so far I just love it!  The girls are adorable, and it's been fun being involved in a school activity outside of the classroom.

Go Cubs!! 

Best of Burke

I was told by Allison this past weekend that I "really need to explain that 'Best Teacher' thing" on the blog.  So Allie S, here ya go. ;)

Burke County's local newspaper is called the "True Citizen," and it comes out every Wednesday.  Each year they do a "Best of Burke" competition that people in the community can vote for.  Things like,

Best Insurance Company

Best Overall Restaurant

Best Gift Shop

Best Pharmacist

Best Nail Salon

Best Nurse

Best Small Business

Best Firefighter

Best Convenience Store

I'm sure you get the idea. :)  Anyways, I got an email about a month ago that I got voted "Best Middle School Teacher." 

What?? Me??!!

There are so many days I feel completely unworthy of the votes, but am so appreciative and thankful I get to teach in a great county.  

Here is the ad the BOE ran in the newspaper last week:

Aren't my little sixth graders precious?!
