Congratulations to all the teachers. I know two of the teachers personally. Debbie Karten taught two of my sons at Westside and I could not have asked for a better teacher. Debbie Krauss I have known for many years and she shows her love for children in the classroom and out.
If I could vote it would be a very hard because I would vote for them all!
COngratulations!

Glad to see Delmar with a couple nominated, my favorite teacher was Mrs Wright. She taught library at Fruitland Elementary. She would smack you on the top of your head til it stung if you acted out. My head still hurts.
