Tuesday evening I had the opportunity to attend the Siemens Science Teacher Awards Dinner at Fernbank.  Siemens is a world wide company with over 400,000 employees who has created a foundation that provides nearly $4 million annually in support of math, science and technology education from grade school through graduate school in the United States. They were ten winners of this award this year in the metro area and two were from Decatur. I congratulate Susan Brooks of Renfroe Middle School and David Schaar of Decatur High School who are this years winners from Decatur. Congratulations on a job well done. Teaching is the worlds hardest job, lowest paid and yet the most important, and not for everybody. It takes special people to do it right and we don’t thank them enough. We are proud of our school system in Decatur and it is great to see them recognized for there work. THANKS GUYS!!!!!!
