Award Winning Byron

I was asked to speak to the teachers and administrators in Byron yesterday.  I was given 20-30 minutes (torture, pure torture!) to share my experience as Minnesota Teacher of the Year and give them a snippet of  my message to Minnesotans.  I felt like I was in an aerobics class after I was done.  Clearly, condensing my message will be something I need to work on!  It's really hard to inspire people to rescue childhood in just a few minutes.  I was so impressed with Byron.  The school is beautiful, the staff is warm and welcoming and they are wonderfully supportive of one another. They are celebrating their recent 2011 Intel School of Distinction Award.  Congrats Byron!!
