Myers
teacher gets a big suprise (the good kind!)
-- Breton Teresi looked
puzzled when Principal Kimberly Wilkins, Ed.D., made an
unscheduled stop in her fourth-period English class
at Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School on Oct.
2. Confusion gave way to surprise, then tears, when
Dr. Wilkins told Teresi that she had just won more than
$1,000 worth of school supplies through OfficeMax’s
Adopt A Classroom program. Dr. Wilkins nominated Teresi
for the award more than a year ago because of
Teresi’s dedication to her students, her creativity
in the classroom and the positive energy and
attitude she brings to Myers every day. (MORE)
