"Let's hear it for the boy . . . "

Our good friend and my colleague Kyle McClure was honored as Monrovia Teacher of the Year this year.  And then he went on to become Los Angeles County Teacher of the Year.  And recently he was named as a finalist for California State Teacher of the Year!

This week he was honored at an open house in his home and later the Monrovia School Board honored him at a board meeting.

Kyle is a great teacher.  I have watched him in action, and he has all the right moves!!

And he has a lovely wife and three beautiful daughters!!

We are proud of you Kyle - and glad to call you friend!

Happy Birthday Mr. McClure

It is certainly a treat to be a colleague of Kyle's. He's a great teacher - and lunch in the Staff Lounge is pretty enjoyable when he - and Marcie - are there. We have some rip-roaring discussions - and we eat well too!

So when he brought in a plate of brownies that a student had given him in honor of his day of naisance, I thought that I ought to give out my own honors with a blog post.

The photos are from Hannah and Robbie's reception.

The McClures are celebrating - as we speak - at Chuck E Cheese. Doesn't get much better than that does it??
