Oh Boy! This is BIG! Really BIG!!!!!!

I'm so excited, just can't hide it, want to share it with you all. Got a letter from Otis College of Art & Design last Friday telling me that they have selected me as one of the three recipients of their Teacher of the Year Award. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is big Aunt Stella, just wish mom and Aunt Elena were here so I could share it with them. I think I have finally impressed my two children with what I do. And let me tell you it wasn't easy! Anyways, the letter goes on to say that after their staff has visited hundreds of high schools in California this year, that they have selected me as one of the most dedicated, talented and inspiring local Art Educators with whom they've worked with. WOW!!!!!!!!!! Did I say that already??????????? I was flabbergasted and delighted, and am thrilled to be going to the preview of their Class of 2010 exhibit, followed by a private award ceremony and dinner. OH MY!! Whatever shall I wear??????????? I might have to go shopping. Oh Gus, where are you? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
