Congratulations to

National Teaching Award Nominee
Dorothy Kohlmeyer
Patrick Henry Middle School, Granada Hills, California
Student Nomination Story
When I started 7th grade I didn't know what to expect, so I looked at my classes and I got honors! It was amazing to see, but then I saw my elective, and it was dance. I wasn't too happy. You see I am a two year dancer and I didn't think I could do that class or have any fun. That was before I met Ms. Williams, she made me think, should I give it a try? She gave us her background in dance and told us her plan for the year. As we went on, I thought that I made a good choice of staying. She has taught me so much, and look now I'm captain of our dance company. Ms. Williams is an inspiration to all of the team. She is easy and hard, which is a wonderful thing I see in a teacher.
