Susan Howard, from Lanier Elementary School in Hall County, and Cynthia Kinsey from New Holland Knowledge Academy\u00a0in Gainesville, were honored by their respective systems and colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>The event is sponsored annually by the <em>Melvin Douglas and Victoria Kay Ivester Foundation. <\/em>In addition, the foundation also presents both system Teachers of the Year with a check for $10,000.00.<\/p>\n<p>Partners to both districts from The University of North Georgia, Brenau University, Lanier Technical College, and the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce, joined faculty, family, board members, and the Ivester Foundation, in celebrating Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Long, and the profession of teaching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat better way to spend our afternoon today than to raise up and celebrate the craft, the commitment, the purpose, and the heart of teaching,\u201d said Hall County Superintendent Will Schofield. \u201cThese two ladies exemplify everything good and noble in education today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alli Roberts, principal of Lanier School for Inquiry, Investigation, and Innovation, where Howard teaches, shared the following about the Hall County teacher of the year, who happened to be a top ten finalist for the state of Georgia:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur school is beyond blessed to have a teacher like Mrs. Howard. Not only does she understand the art of teaching and learning, she is also a driving force behind offering all students the opportunity to grow through the implementation of STEM. She is phenomenal! We appreciate the continuous support of the Ivester Foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank Hall County, who offers so many different types of learning environments for children in our area,\u201d said Howard. \u201cThis, in turn, provided me the opportunity to have my dream job, bringing project-based learning to all children at one of our district\u2019s schools of choice.\u00a0And to The Ivester Foundation. Thank you for this incredibly generous gift. Teaching is a career that, when done with joy in your heart, is a tremendous honor whose reward comes in the lasting impact we leave on the lives of our students. Your gift is a cherry,<em> many, many <\/em>cherries, on top of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-7714eba142aeda1f8b5272a3c372b279 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l8czz8t5-4db43af9e1e602acc2cd79e52b51126b\">\n@keyframes av_boxShadowEffect_av-l8czz8t5-4db43af9e1e602acc2cd79e52b51126b {\n0%   { box-shadow:  0 0 0 0 #000000; opacity: 1; }\n100% { box-shadow:  0 0 10px 0 #000000; opacity: 1; }\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-l8czz8t5-4db43af9e1e602acc2cd79e52b51126b img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow: 0 0 10px 0 #000000;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-l8czz8t5-4db43af9e1e602acc2cd79e52b51126b .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-l8czz8t5-4db43af9e1e602acc2cd79e52b51126b av-styling- av-img-linked avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 fade-in avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-5  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-img-box-shadow av-box-shadow-not-animated'  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HCSD-TOTY-2022.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HCSD-TOTY-2022.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HCSD-TOTY-2022-300x201.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" class='avia_image '  aria-label='HCSD TOTY 2022'><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"wp-image-26939 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-26939 avia_image shadow-not-animated lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"HCSD TOTY\" title=\"HCSD TOTY 2022\" height=\"428\" width=\"640\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HCSD-TOTY-2022.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HCSD-TOTY-2022.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HCSD-TOTY-2022-300x201.jpg 300w\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both Gainesville City Schools and the Hall County School District recognized their system\u2019s Teachers of the Year this afternoon at a Luncheon held at the Oaks at Lanier College and Career Academy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":26944,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
