Dicey Competition
A 'dicey' competition wrapped up at Clabber Girl Saturday. Young chefs from Booker T. Washington and West Vigo High Schools put their best ‘plate’ forward. Each school brought their own flavor to the table. They competed to impress judges and win the title of top chef. The competition raises awareness about culinary arts. Consumer science teachers want students to know you'll only find competition like this in the kitchen. The competition was very close, congratulations to West Vigo High School. They won by only six points. .
Madison teachersnearer to award
MADISON - Two Madison City Schools teachers have been named as semifinalists for the 2008-2009 Alabama Teacher of the Year. Amanda Evans, a third-grade teacher at Columbia Elementary, and Jeanne Welt, who teaches seventh- and eighth-grade honors language arts at Liberty Middle School, are among the 16 semifinalists. It's the second time that Madison's teachers have earned semifinalist positions in the elementary and secondary teaching categories. Three years ago, Margaret Petty, a special education teacher at Rainbow Elementary School, was named the regional district's Elementary Teacher of the Year and went on to earn the State Teacher of the Year Award. Former culinary arts instructor at Bob Jones High School, Judy Brown, was also named the regional district's Secondary Teacher of the Year in 2005.
