Mr. Drew Tillett from WAY FM and Ms. Michelle Wright from Learning Rx honored Trinity Traditional Program chair Dr. Debbie Heaverin with the Crystal Apple Award.

The presentation took place in Heaverin’s classroom today.  She was nominated and selected for her work as head of the Traditional Program and to celebrate “her gentle spirit and motivating presence in the classroom.”

During the presentation Heaverin was joined by several of her colleagues and about 50 of the students who study in the Traditional Program.  She was selected from a number of nominations.  Tillett said, “Debbie sounds more than deserving.”

Of receiving the award, Heaverin said, “I was totally surprised when several people showed up at my classroom door!  I never expect any rewards for teaching and helping students because I love what I do. Being a part of a team of great teachers at Trinity is such a blessing. I’m still overwhelmed and humbled by this recognition.”
