Julie Ender from Sparta High School won the teacher of the year award for 2010.
The teacher of the year award was given by the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Sparta. In order to win this competition one must be a teacher and be nominated by someone. Then the V.F.W will decide on a winner.
Ender had no idea about this award until she was nominated. She said, "This was very humbling to have such nice things mentioned about me."
The student that nominated her was Angela Woodmen, a senior at High Point in Sparta. Not only did she willingly nominate Ender, but also wrote a essay about why she deserved it. The essay about Ender's teaching is what sold the judges and brought her the win
Sam Russ the principal at Sparta High had nothing but great things to say about the award. Russ talked about how proud he was of Ender. "I am very proud. It's a great honor," said Russ. The reason Russ believes Ender got the award was because of the relationships she creates with her students, her high standards and most of all the respect she gets, and gives to her students.
