In a surprise visit Monday, Fort Worth ISD teacher Rachel Lawson, from North Side High School, was notified that she has been selected as a finalist in the 2009 H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards. The 2009 H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards is the state’s largest monetary recognition program for Texas educators.
The honor was kept a surprise until H-E-B and FWISD representatives visited her classrooms bearing balloons, cake, flowers and $1,000 checks. Ms. Lawson was presented personally with a $1,000 and a $1, 000 was presented to her school. As one of eight state finalists, Ms. Lawson is now eligible to compete in a statewide competition for $10,000!
FWISD Superintendent Melody Johnson sent a congratulatory letter to Ms Lawson.
H-E-B launched the Excellence in Education Awards program in cooperation with the Texas Association of School Administrators in 2002 as a positive way to support public education in Texas. A major goal of the Excellence in Education awards is to make a statement about the great things going on in Texas public schools — to spotlight best practices and to celebrate the work of Texas educators. It has grown to become the largest monetary program for educators in the state.
In order to find the best teachers, principals and districts in Texas, H-E-B began by asking customers, Partners (employees) and community members to submit the names of their favorite educators, administrators and districts. Each nominee was sent an application packet asking them to share their professional experiences, educational philosophies and achievements both in and out of the classroom.
