I was such a surprise to have visitors enter my room
with the great news that I had been awarded the Gladys Prior Excellence in
teaching Award! Four Jacksonville teachers were surprised in
their classrooms today with the 2019 Gladys Prior Awards for Career Teaching
Excellence, which were established by Gilchrist Berg, founder and
president of Water Street Capital, to honor teachers who have had lifelong
careers in teaching and inspiring students. To date, Berg has given more than
$1 million to honor Jacksonville teachers with an award named after his
fourth-grade teacher, Gladys Prior, at Ortega Elementary. The UNF College of Education and Human Services manages
this gift and coordinates the annual award competition. Each of these career teachers
will receive $15,000. Congratulations to Amy Glendenning, Seabreeze Elementary
School; Mary Phillips, Duncan Fletcher Middle School; Kevin Sullivan, Edward
White High School; and Terry Woodlief, Central Riverside Elementary School!
