Thursday night was a very special evening for our Teachers of the Year. We had the opportunity to hear from Martin Garrish and his friends who shared stories of the island culture through music. We sang, we danced (especially our resident clogger, Regional Teacher of the Year Trisha Muse,) and we laughed until we cried.
Teachers are members of a community of kindred spirits, and we were so blessed to spend the week with each other. Our sincere thanks goes out to Mary Kay Cooley, Center Fellow for NCCAT at Cullowhee and Lena Donlon, Program Associate for NCCAT Ocracoke. You ladies, along with Alton Ballance, Scott Cole, Phillip Howard, Ken Wells, and Martin Garrish, made this group of teachers proud to be educators! Thank you for the knowledge, the laughter, the renewal of spirit, and the newly found friends. We are forever grateful.
Goodbye Ocracoke...
