Norfolk’s own Tommy Smigiel, winner of the Norfolk Teacher of the Year and Virginia Teacher of the Year, is one of four finalists for the National Teacher of the Year. According to this story, when he wins 🙂 Tommy will be a spokesman for educators, with some 150 speaking engagements across the country and overseas.
The final selection will be announced by President Bush in late April. Wonder if that means a trip to the White House?
Congratulations, Tommy!
