Dr. Michele McBride was totally surprised this morning at not only being nominated Educator of the Year at her Village East Elementary School in Aurora, Colorado, but also because her neighbor Cheryl, Daughter Maddy and I were present after succeeding in keeping the event a secret for days.😁
 |
| Shock and disbelief🤣 |
Especially since she has sworn for years that I cannot keep a secret!
The informal award was presented at the teacher's meeting at the the school at beginning of the new semester (4th January 2025).
 |
| She never expected to see us till she returned home😊. (Neighbor Cheryl at right.) |
The formal ceremony will be at a dinner in April 2026.
What made this award even more unexpected for her is the fact that this is the second time that she has been the nominee.

| Her colleagues gave her daughter Maddy the flowers to present. |
I am extremely proud of her accomplishments as I had actively discouraged her from pursuing a career in teaching, due to the fact that they are so poorly paid.😡
However she reminded me that it was a family tradition and her accomplishments over the years have been phenomenal and well recognized, wherever she has served.
Well done mi pickney.

It was through her neighbor Cheryl that the information was filtered to us and she never suspected a thing😊. |
