   “I love my job and my students and hope to teach for many more years.” Said Denise Yelton upon being told she was one of only 26 teachers throughout the county nominated for the Tanner Award for Excellence in Teaching.  Chantel McFadden, speaking of the honor, mused, “I am near the end of my career and I wonder at times if I am giving students as much as the younger teachers. This is such a wonderful affirmation.” So went the calls and comments as gifted teachers were told of their nomination.

   This year Communities In Schools of Rutherford County with the Tanner Foundation received 58 nominations for 26 teachers. As the review of nominations takes place, the strength of the narratives becomes very important as the reviewers consider the merit of teachers nominated by their peers, students, parents and the public as outstanding examples of the criteria. The narratives are key to determining what sets each individual apart from all those nominated.

   Those nominated this year for the Tanner Award for Excellence In Teaching are: Linda Armentrout, Dale Costner, Pat Edwards, Anne Elliott, Lynn Flack, Janis Hargett, Brandon & Lisa Higgins, Kristi Holland, Susan Martin, Debbie McArthur, Chantel McFadden, Kaye McKinney, Sandra Nanney, Llarie Michael, Angelica “Angel” Moss, Anita Patterson, Jackie Reynolds, Denise Yelton. With the eight finalists being: Jennifer Hutchins Condrey, Jill Francis, Mary Beth Francis, Nikki Gilreath, Cathy Hoyle, Ashley Jones, Leslie Rhinehart and Susan Todd.

   Finalists will be interviewed on March 14 with the First and Second Award Recipients announced at a luncheon at the Tanner Learning Center Thursday, April 14. Join us in congratulating all those nominated for this honor.
