WLB PTO recognizes outstanding teachers

[May 12, 2012]  Last Monday, West Lincoln-Broadwell Elementary had its annual appreciation assembly for teachers. The event is organized by the Parent-Teacher Organization.

Teachers were honored for their dedication and years of service. The red-carpet style event used a favorite teacher craft material: construction paper.

Teachers were escorted across the gymnasium floor by a student, with thunderous applause by those in the bleachers. One by one, the teachers received a small paper star with their name on it.
