As if the surprise wasn’t enough, the
days and weeks to follow were almost as good! My students and coworkers were
amazingly supportive and excited for the recognition and prestige that
accompanies the Fishman Prize. Throughout the day, signs popped up everywhere.
They are all so much fun! I loved reading what the students had written, encouragement and caring statements full of pride! When I think back to the big day and days to follow, tears still creep into my eyes. I never realized or imagined that my students would feel such a large part of this incredible honor, as I had wanted them to feel. The students have such amazing insight into their own education. They deserve and want so much more than we are providing them with from 7:30 – 3:00pm!

That night I was surrounded by my
family and closest coworkers at Little Harbor, one of our favorite local
retreats. It was a beautiful night. Great company, the sun setting in the
background, and dolphins playing in the water right in front of us. The perfect
end to the perfect day!
