A Great Big "THANK YOU!"

As I traveled home on Friday, my mind raced with thoughts from the past few days. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would experience something so incredible. I truly wish every teacher could be honored and experience all that the 55 of us experiences last week! This amazing week would not have been possible with out some pretty amazing people! Thanks to the following:
The University of Phoenix awards each State Teacher of the Year a Teaching It Forward scholarship to present to a high school student of their choosing in their respective states and territories.
In addition to the scholarship and support, the University of Phoenix also gave each State TOY a kindle! Thanks University of Phoenix!

Thanks to ING for your continued support. We were given wonderful gifts that included a teacher's dream: a gift card to Office Max! Thanks ING for all that you do for education and in numerous communities throughout our country! You guys are awesome!
Target was also a wonderful sponsor this year. Not only did we get cool Target shirts and get to ride around DC in style on our Target Buses, but Target also gave us flip cameras so that we could capture the week! Target also gave us gift bags full of school supplies and sponsored a tour of DC for us and our families! Target Rocks! Thanks for all you continue to do for education!


The People to People Ambassador Program is a program that all teachers should learn more about! This organization helps teachers and students travel across the US and around the world to gain insight and perspective. In addition to the continued support of the NTOY program, the People to People Ambassador program gives the National Teacher of the Year a trip abroad (Michelle will be going to China) and gives each State TOY a scholarship to help us travel to China next year! How exciting! Thanks guys!

Thanks again to SMART Technologies for the amazing technology package you provide to each State Teacher of the Year. You give us the tools to create modern classrooms and provide the continued support to ensure we are all successful with our new technology! Thanks for keeping us connected and informed! You guys are fabulous!
A very special thanks to CCSSO! Jon Quam and Andy Drewlinger always create a first class experience for us! Thanks to Gene Wilhoit and CCSSO for sponsoring the National Teacher of the Year program.
