Michael actually kept the secret for about 24 hours. Theresa- my lead teacher called him on Thursday morning sharing the information that it looked like I would win. Monday the nominees were announced and Wednesday the staff discovered there would be a run off between three teachers. The official count was determined late Thursday afternoon. Michael brought the kids and Cheryl. Kelly Bramblett came from Allatoona (she knew on Thursday too and kept it a secret) Riley Jack was so adorable as he walked down the aisle carrying a bunch of roses. MollyClaire carried flowers in her hand too. They made it to the front before I did. I was up in the bleachers with my students. MollyClaire and Riley Jack ran into my arms and all the students awed.... It was so cute. We walked up on stage and Dr. Daniel gave me the mic. Yikes. I assured the students their muffins would be ready on Thursday. Everyone clapped.
Dr. Daniel, Cheryl, Michael, Stephanie, Kelly, Theresa, Riley Jack and MollyClaire
