UVM Outstanding Teacher Day

Congratulations to all of all of the Vermont teachers who were honored this afternoon at the UVM Outstanding Teacher Day. The University of Vermont hosts this event annually in celebration of all the Teachers of the Year from each district throughout the state. Held in the beautiful Ira Allen Chapel on UVM's campus, the ceremony was a wonderful celebration of teachers, chaired by Dr. Faynese Miller, Dean, College of Education and Social Services and State Board of Education Chair.

Sen. Bernie Sanders was on hand to offer up his congratulations to all of the deserving teachers who were being recognized, as well as to highlight what a great job Vermont teachers are doing nationally with their students.

I had the honor of being the keynote speaker at this great event, and it was inspiring to be able to meet and speak with so many of Vermont's finest educators.

What a great event. Thank you to the University of Vermont, and congratulations to all of the 2010 Outstanding Teachers who were recognized today for all of their hard work and devotion to teaching.
