Teachers of year recognizedBy Britney TaborStaff Writer

The Denton school district’s2012 Jostens Elementary andSecondary Teachers of the Yeareach drove away with a 2012Cadillac SRX, a four-month giftfrom James Wood Autopark, thisweek.

At a reception attended by morethan 250 people recently, GinningsElementary School art teacher KayAdamson and Guyer High Schoolscience teacher Mandy Jenkinswere named the district’s elemen-tary and secondary teachers of theyear.

Adamson and Jenkins alsoreceived gifts from award sponsors.

Each will receive a check for$500 upon completing an applica-tion for the region and stateteacher of the year contests, andJostens awarded Jenkins a trip toits Jostens Renaissance NationalConference in Orlando, Fla., inJuly.

Also recognized recently werecampus teacher of the year awardrecipients from 31 other schoolswho moved on to the district com-petition.

Russ Ellis, a James Wood repre-sentative, presented this year’s topteachers with the vehicles at theclose of the reception. They will beallowed to drive the vehiclesthrough the summer.

When announced, a wide-eyedAdamson mouthed toSuperintendent Ray Braswell, “Areyou kidding me?” before huggingEllis.

“Wow,” she said. Moments after the announce-

ment, Adamson and Jenkins exitedthe LaGrone Advanced TechnologyComplex, embraced each other andchecked out their white and redCadillac crossovers, which wereparked in the school’s circle drive.Proudly displayed on the rear win-dow of each was the phrase“Teacher of the Year” and theirschools’ logos.

“There’s no key,” Adamson saidof the vehicle’s keyless access andpush-button starter as she madeher way into the driver’s seat.

Once inside, she sounded thehorn.

“Oh this is sweet,” she said. “It’samazing. I’m so excited.”

Adamson called the honor “pre-cious.”

“I love my kids so much, shesaid. “I’m excited.”

Jenkins, who was getting famil-iar with her vehicle, said she was“overwhelmingly humbled” atbeing named this year’s secondaryteacher of the year.

“What a blessing,” she said.“There’s just so many teachers herethat are so good and every day all ofthose teachers work so hard, andbeing around them pushes me tobe a better teacher and better pre-pared for my students and keepingthem engaged. I’m really honoredto be selected among such a greatgroup of people.”

For more than a decade, the

Jostens Teacher of the Year Awardhas recognized educators for their“exemplary teaching skills and tal-ents in the classroom,” schoolboard President Mia Price saidduring the reception.

Jostens, which has a plant inDenton, was added to the award’sname for honoring each campusteacher of the year recipient since2004 with a donated gold ring, aproject valued at more than$20,000. School administratorssaid the donated rings are now atradition.

Annually, a teacher of the year isnamed at each of Denton’s elemen-tary, middle and high school cam-puses. Those individuals are eligi-ble for the district award, named bythe district’s TeachersCommunications Committee.

Vicki Storrie, chairwoman of thecommittee, called this year’s top

teachers “exceptional” and “dedi-cated to their students, to their sub-ject and to their schools.”

Adamson’s career spans nearly30 years. Since 1998, she has beenan art teacher at Ginnings. Prior tothat, she taught 4- and 5-year-oldpreschoolers at First UnitedMethodist Church Denton for 10years and was a second-gradeteacher at Ginnings in the early- tomid-1980s.

“She’s an all-around goodteacher,” Ginnings Principal MisseyChavez said. “She is fabulous in thefact that she gives everything to herstudents, not only an art education— a social education, life educa-tion.

“She’s a blessing for all of us atour campus [and] to the communi-ty in everything that she does.”

A 23-year veteran educator,Jenkins has taught pre-Advanced

Placement and AP physics atGuyer since 2007. She also hastaught in the Coppell, Carrollton-Farmers Branch, Allen andHardin-Jefferson school districts.

Guyer Principal Barbara Fischersaid Jenkins is energetic aboutteaching and it’s not uncommon tofind her standing on a lab table toexplain a concept to students.

“The kids love her,” Fischer said.As Denton’s elementary and sec-

ondary teachers of the year,Adamson and Jenkins will repre-sent the school district amongrecipients from 75 other districts inthe Texas teacher of the yearregional competition, coordinatedby the Region XI Service Center inFort Worth.

HEARING PROBLEMS?If your child has failed their hearing screening at school or is having difficulty listening to or hearing the teacher, Denton Hearing Health Care can be your first point of contact to conduct a diagnostic hearing test and central auditory pro-cessing screening.

For children with chronic middle ear problems, swimmers ear, or P.E. tubes, we can make colorful custom made ear-plugs to prevent water from entering the ear canal. These are floatable and can be used when swimming or bathing and may also be used for sound protection as well.

Dr. Judith Caudle has served the children in Denton County and the surrounding areas for over 25 years.

Swimsafety

How to teach your kids to swim this summerNational Learn to Swim Day is

Saturday, May 19, and parentsacross the country are gearing upto get their children out of thehouse and into the pool. It’s impor-tant to teach your kids to swimearly on, as progressive learningwill help them develop skills.

According to the Red Cross,drowning is the second leadingcause of unintentional injury-relat-ed death for children ages 1 to 14years old. A child should never beleft unattended in or around thewater -- even in your home pool,where statistics show toddlers aremost susceptible.

Learning to swim is not only anecessary safety measure; it’s also afun physical activity that familiescan enjoy together.

SwimWays, the creator of theSwim Steps program that helpskids learn to swim, is sharing foursimple steps to help you introduceyour children to the water, and setthe stage for a lifetime of swim-ming:■ Get your child comfortable in

the water at an early age. You canintroduce babies to the water usinga baby float. The SwimWays BabySpring Float for example, has amesh play space for toys andsplashing. Teach them that thewater is a fun place to play.■ Explore the water with your

child using swim-training aids spe-cially designed to help parentsteach kids to swim. The SwimSteps line includes the SwimSweater and Swim Vests that willcomfortably help your little onebalance and paddle -- two impor-tant pre-swimming skills.■ Once your child is ready to

learn to swim, use a graduatedflotation device, such as the PowerSwimr, to allow him or her todevelop swimming abilities at hisor her own pace. Be sure to keep anactive eye and supervise at alltimes!■ While you may feel your little

one has the skills to swim withouthelp by now, remember it takes alot of courage to traverse the wateralone.

It’s often beneficial for a child toease into swimming with a bit ofextra support before taking theirfirst solo strokes. Kids can use kick-boards as they begin to master

their swimming skills and gain theconfidence needed to swim suc-cessfully.

You can find information andways your family can participate in

National Learn to Swim Day atwww.TeachMeToSwim.com.Before you know it, your child willbe a fish in the water!

Mother’s Day ideas for the budget-consciousIf you’re watching your pocket-

book these days, as many peopleare, you may be searching foraffordable ways to celebrate Momthis Mother’s Day, May 13.

The good news is thoughtful-ness doesn’t need to cost a fortune.

You can show you really care bytaking the time to personalizeyour Mother’s Day activities andgifts. Here are some unique ideasthat meet a wide range of budgets:

You’ve probably been treated tomany special home-cooked mealsby Mom. Now it’s time to recipro-cate. Instead of taking mom outon Mother’s Day, where manyrestaurants jack up their prices byoffering a prix-fixe menu, preparea special meal yourself.Remember, the day is about your

mom, so plan the menu around allher favorite dishes. Offer to cook forher so she can relax.

Take your mother on a naturewalk to pick wildflowers. Not onlywill you get to spend a great springday together outside, you can createa unique bouquet at home using

flowers she picked herself.- StatePoint
