Congratulations
to Rae "Kimo" Ormsby of Shadow Mountain High School in Phoenix for
winning the 99.9 FM KEZ Excellence in Education Award for September
2012.
Ormsby, was nominated by Amber Kalsow who is a student in Ormsby's Spanish class.
In Kaslow's nomination letter she acknowledged her teacher for his desire to change students' lives through his Spanish class and give them the best education.
"This course has not only taught me Spanish but it has also made me learn a lot about myself. Kimo makes you think in depth. Kimo is not a person who looks at teaching as his only a job. It is what he loves to do."
Each
month, a Valley K-12 teacher will be selected from all the entries to be
recognized for their outstanding contribution to education. KEZ’s Marty Manning
will visit the teacher’s school to surprise them with their “Excellence in
Education” Award. The surprise visit will be broadcast during the Beth and
Friends Show. All winning teachers are rewarded with $99, an Excellence in
Education Award, and a Rio Salado College gift bag.
Excellence
in Education is a partnership between Rio Salado College and KEZ 99.9 FM, which
recognizes Valley teachers. Students and parents of students are encouraged to
nominate K-12 teachers who are excellent at their profession and have gone above
and beyond the call of duty to make a difference in their community.
