Honored to be a Teacher

 On June 10, 2012, I was named the Kansas Mathematics Awardee for the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching by President Obama.

 Ed, Kenz, and I traveled to Washington DC on an expense paid trip!  I had 3 days of professional development, networking, EATING, and awards ceremonies!

 Kenzie and Ed toured (somewhat) and people watched in the Willard Hotel. 

 Mom and Dad joined us for 2 of the days!  It was an experience I'll never forget!!
