ReplyDeleteI thought Ms. Jukins gave a wonderful speech - off the cuff - about the opportunities that Middletown teachers give their students, including her own children who are in the local school system. It's just like her to use this opportunity to turn the spotlight on her colleagues. She said that all teachers are her heroes - Ms. Jukins, you are ours!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Joanne! You are so modest - I had not heard. A well deserved honor for an awesome teacher and a terrific parent...and a super supportive crew mom, too! So very happy for you and for Macdonough
