(Jenny) has been selected as one of the recipients of the 2008 Teacher Recognition Awards Program sponsored by the SynapticMash Innovation Foundation. She is an absolutely outstanding teacher and has more than earned this recognition! Through compassion, high standards and model instruction, she helps her students excel.

Congratulations!

teachers are unsung heroes… there is nothing more important than teaching our children how to think.

It’s also nice to see positive things coming from one of the most forgot about schools in Seattle. These teachers work with very little, and do so much for our youngsters. Kudos to Jenny and all the others who truly make a difference in our community.
