Hello Everyone,
I just attended my first Celebration
of Teaching for the Norman Public Schools. The Oklahoma Writing Project
was well represented by many exemplary teachers receiving recognition for their
hardwork and dedication to education. There was not a program so I may
not know the "exact" title or criteria for selection of some of the
awards but here are some I remember off hand:
Carmi Scheller (several
awards)
Nancy Klopowitz (several awards,
including being recognized as a retiree)
Claudia Swisher (Nancy O'Brien Award
-- very special)
Karin Perry (can't remember the
award name)
Bonner Slayton (finalist for NPS
teacher of the year)
Forgive me if I neglected to mention
any others from the OWP family who received awards. I was proud to see so
many of you receive these awards and to share with others that I knew you
through our OWP relationship. Congratulations!!!
