Each year the San Juan School District hosts a banquet for their teachers of the year. Mark was selected as Albert R. Lyman Middle School Teacher of the Year. At this banquet all the honored teachers are given a plaque and thanked for their efforts in education in the district. At the end of the banquet, a San Juan School District Teacher of the Year is then announced and given a "Golden Apple" award.
The San Juan School District Teacher of the Year is Mark!!!!! 
We were both surprised, I had no idea (yes, there are things which go on in the county of which I know nothing about!) Mark was so honored and touched by the award. It was so very special. I would just have to say myself, there is something very special about a person who works with 12-14 year old children for over 20 years and not only lives to tell the story, but loves those students as well. I'm so proud to call him my own!

I can't think of a more deserving teacher of the award!
What an honor. I am so grateful to be part of your family. You are both such examples to me of goodness and hard work and service. I am so glad others can see it too.
I agree with Jeanine and Carly! There is not a more deserving teacher! Congrats!!!
Wow, Mark congratulations!!!!! That is so great. I am so in awe that you continue to work with that age group. By the time our 6th graders leave I want to strangle them all. I don't know how you do it. You are truly a special person and brother, and I love ya.
Just so you know, watching Mark all these years is what inspired me to want to teach myself! Love you lots and congratulations!
That's exciting news! I worked with the Beehives for 2 years, so maybe I know a little bit about the drama of that age. I would say "Poor Mark", but I'm sure he's not complaining. Congrats!!
I am so proud of you, little brother!! You so deserve it!!! You are a wonderful brother and you sure picked a wonderful wife. I have to admit I am very surprised that anybody kept a secret like that from Debbie!
I love and look up to you both!
