Columbia Home & Lifestyle - January/February 2009 - (Page 44) Teacher Feature Thank you’s Three teachers featured in CHL’s Teacher Feature had a few kind words to say about their experiences of being nominated for the magazine’s regular column. “Thank you so much for everything! I have to tell you: I was overwhelmed with so many emotions during your visit to The Moog School; I was almost speechless! I feel so blessed to be the ‘chosen one’ for the Teacher Feature, but I sure don’t do it alone. We all (teachers and students) work hard and play hard! I so appreciate your kindness and enthusiasm. Thank you, again. Happy Day!“ —Charlotte Brumfield, The Moog School “Thank you for the teacher of the month award. This is a great honor, which is even more so because parents and students made the nomination. I was surprised and pleased with the award and the gifts of flowers, gift certificate to Ann’s Teachers Store, gifts from UMB, including a savings bond and sandwiches for the class from Jimmy John’s! Your support of education is greatly appreciated.” —Dalene DeLong, Mill Creek Elementary “I’m writing to thank you for selecting me as the featured teacher in Columbia Home & Lifestyle’s June/July issue. It was truly one of the greatest honors I have ever received. Between failed bond issues, budget cuts and tougher-than-ever discipline issues, being a teacher is hard work! However, the joys of teaching exponentially outweigh the negatives. I am absolutely passionate about my work with kids and am so grateful for the recognition in Columbia Home & Lifestyle. I have written notes to each of the sponsors thanking them, as well. Our 15th wedding anniversary recently passed, and my husband and I plan to celebrate by using the Grill One 5 gift certificate (a very appropriate place for a 15th anniversary!). I am very eager to get to Ann’s Teachers Store and shop for new materials to use with my students this year, and the $100 savings bond and checking account with UMB will also come in very handy. The Teacher Feature is such a wonderful way to showcase someone who has devoted their life to the art of teaching. Thank you for making it a part of your outstanding publication.” —Melissa Straw, Smithton Middle School 44 January/February 2009 Above leFT: Charlotte Brumfield from October/November 2008 CHL.
