Humble Brag?

So this happened.

Last spring I was honored with an award called “The Order of the Plume” at Oakland University for being what was described as "an inspirational teacher of writing.”  My undergraduate students nominated me, said some very touching things, and the English department was nice enough to recognize my work there.

Anyway, I thought it was worth sharing, given the fine company and world class-educators that we have here at Derby and BPS.

Every day I appreciate the opportunity of being able to connect young minds to the joy of reading, writing, and thinking critically about their world.  With the much-appreciated support of our administration, my colleagues, the parent community, and my family, I feel totally lucky to be able to have the best of both worlds.

Best,
Jonathan
