Kelly Bramblett holding her Governor's Award, and me holding my nomination plaque.
Theresa Reticker-Schultz (my dept. head), me, Kelly, and her parents - Mr. and Mrs. Jones @ the Waverly Renaissance for the Tommy Nobis Galaxy of the Star awards.
Michael joined us to help me celebrate.In January The Mountain Top Cafe program and Buccaneer Brew (Kelly's coffee shop at Allatoona HS) were both nominated for best program Tommy Nobis Galaxy of the Star Award. Those of you that know me and Kelly, know they are one in the same. Kelly and I started The Mountain Top Cafe in 2004 at Kennesaw Mountain High School. We co-wrote a curriculum and incorporated a small business; Serving Up Success, Inc. Anyway, to make a long story short.......the powers that be at the Tommy Nobis contacted our department heads and they made the decision to leave us both nominated just in different areas. I stayed in the program nomination and Kelly went in the professional advocate category. We were all invited to a fancy luncheon at the Waverly Renaissance in April. There were five categories with a handful of nominations in each category. From the winners of each category.....they would choose an overall winner for the Governors Award. Kelly......won her category as well as The Governors Award. Her mom and dad and her husband Marc were there to celebrate. It was a great day for both of us ......because our idea of students working and learning transition skills was being celebrated. It wasn't bad PR for Serving Up Success either.
