Today, the Tahoma Education Association walked and rode in the Maple Valley Days Parade as the Educator of Year. All of teachers were honored for our dedicated efforts to our school community. The association in particular was honored for their financial and volunteer help to pass our school levy.
As we walked the parade route today, if gave me a small sense of small town pride. The whole way each time we would go by our community they cheered with such a proud cheer, not for the person but rather with respect to the work that we each do. I think that all of us today felt along the way. It was a beautiful day.
I want to thank our school district for nominating us for this award and it just shows the collaborative learning community that we have created between our local union and district, which is very rare. Later this week we will be featured on the Washington EA website for our commitment to building a strong relationship with our district and school community.
Thank you also to all the teachers that took time today to walk the route and be with our association.
