Minister's Excellence in Teaching Award
School District 14 Recipient for 2011
Ms. Denise Budrow - Andover Elementary School
Ms. Budrow is a music teacher whose innovation for the use of technology in the classroom allows her to share music with her students from around the world. She also teaches English language arts to French immersion students.
Her passion for music and education is evident through her involvement in the district music festivals and choirs.
