To everyone involved in my foundation, including my staff, board of directors, sponsors, and most importantly, the young students we reach, our work is more important than ever. Thirteen years ago, my dad and I envisioned helping young people achieve their dreams through education. This work remains unchanged and will continue to grow. From the Learning Center students in Southern California, to the Earl Woods Scholars in Washington, D.C., millions of kids have changed their lives, and I am dedicated to making sure that continues.

Dr. Grant Bell has worked diligently to get to the point where he is today as a leader and role model of the community.. Starting as a middle school history teacher for many years, working his way to an assistant principal, and eventually becoming a school principal at a high needs school. During this journey, he has obtained his bachelor’s degree, teaching certificate, master’s degree, administrative license, and finally his doctorate in education. On top of his achievements, Dr. Bell is constantly reading books and attending seminars during the school year and over the summer to help our school stay on top of new, innovative ideas. One of the most effective practices that Dr. Bell has established in our school is loaning out his various

“Brett Hillman as the new health/phys ed teacher could not be here tonight, but he received his BA from Rowan University, served as a paraprofessional at Trenton School District, and will be replacing Herbert Neilio. And actually he was somebody that the administrators and I recruited and met at the Rowan Job Fair just a few weeks ago, so it does work,” said

Welcome back! Barnegat teachers are the reason that I pursued a career in education, they shaped my values, inspired me to work hard, instilled a never-give-upattitude, and taught me that there is never a wrong time to do the right thing. The caring environment, passion for teaching, and love for children that they showed are the things I remember and ultimately why I chose to return to Barnegat as a teacher. In the opening address, I shared with you just a few of my memories of elementary school, and from the recent feedback, we all have them in common and they drive us each day.

In Edgar Allen Poe’s story, “The Fall of the House of Usher”, Poe creates an atmosphere of fear by Roderick knew he buried his sister alive. The narrator was summon to House of Usher by his friend in boyhood Roderick Usher that he have gotten a mental disease. He gets there and his friend is different from the last time he saw him. “When,one evening, having informed me that the lady Madeline was no more,”(Poe #23). Roderick and the narrator completely trapped Madeline in that coffin.

This young man’s growth in the face of past failure remains my proudest accomplishment as a teacher and as a person. I helped him go from sullen and reluctant to experience a feeling of accomplishment as a result of his own hard work and persistence. I refused to allow him to cut corners and pushed him to truly earn his credit in my class, and in doing so, helped him understand the value and results of hard work, something that will carry over in every aspect of his

I am confused reading this message. Is this from February or is it from June 29th. I remember explaining this situation to Dr. Gronemeyer back in February, and since then, I have changed the way I register staff. Instead of registering them, I teach them how to register themselves. Like I explained it to Dr. Gronomeyer back in February, I actually did not understand that I was overriding, I had to go back and see what I did wrong.

Earlier this year, Dodge City Schools requested recommendations for their nomination of the Master Teacher of the Year honor. Immediately my mind riveted on one outstanding instructor, Laura Woolfolk. Laura is a colleague of mine in the English Department at Dodge City High School, and I often say that one of my goals in life is to become her. While that may sound somewhat flippant, to those who know Laura, they know that task is monumental and unachievable. Laura is all things good. In life. In community. In school. In person. For those reasons, it is an honor to work alongside her on a daily basis, and it is more than deserving that she receives our school’s nomination for the Master Teacher of the Year.

What exactly is propaganda? According to Merriam-Webster dictionary propaganda is defined as “ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause”(Merriam-Webster). Propaganda was a psychological “weapon” during World War II to keep the the United States motivated, and give the public a sense of unity making one another work together for a common cause. Although Propaganda could not cause physical harm, how effective could it have really been? Which pieces of propaganda persuaded the public the most? World War II was a time when nationalism was at its peak so it was important for the propagandists to make sure it looked liked the U.S. was always in the lead, since the people’s support was so

I awarded my second ribbon to Ms Beaudet, a teacher at the Sacred Heart School of Montreal. Ms Beaudet was my science teacher in Secondary four, volleyball coach in Secondary three as well as my track and field coach for the past two years. This being said, I have known her for the past two years and I believe she has helped shape the student and the athlete i have become today. To me, Ms Beaudet has brought a source of motivation, diligence and achievement to my life. She has helped target my weaknesses in order to develop them into strengths and allow me reinforce my strong points. Ms Beaudet’s enthusiasm, dedication and motivation are contagious and have allowed me to prosper inside and outside of the classroom. She is constantly engaged

“ Don’t work for recognition, but do work worthy of recognition” -H. Jackson Brown, Jr. As a high schooler, I have obtained awards and recognitions for my dedication towards my academics and involvement in St. Dominic. As a freshman and a sophomore, I received and obtained Honor Roll with an unweighted 3.86 GPA.
