Mrs. Burfeind -- Teacher of the Year: 2008

by: Jenna and Ryan

Our Librarian, Mrs. Burfeind, is the Teacher of the Year: 2008. She thinks this is a very nice honor because the rest of the staff voted on it. When she was chose to be teacher of the year, she got a certificate and was invited to a lunch with the other teachers of the year. This is her first time having this opportunity. Mrs. Burfeind said, "When people saw me, they congratulated me, but if they didn't have time to see me, they sent cards and emails."

Mrs. Burfeind loves being our librarian and loves books. "My favorite book in the library right now is The Tale of Despereanancy," she said. A book she would recommend to Kindergarteners is Owl Babies by Martin Wadell. To fourth graders, she would suggest the book Sunwing by Keneth Oppel. She likes to teach us to add animation to our PowerPoint presentations. Mrs. Burfeind loves being Teacher of the Year!
