Life Time Achievement: Liz Clayton of Port Orange Elem.. "My students were learning to calculate the amount of time that passes between one event and the next. I decided to give them an activity that would allow them to practice this skill." Fit or Fat? The other Life Time Achievement winner was P. A. Arnold of Hurst Elem.. "We continue successful efforts of previous classes, keeping the best efforts going, and adding at least one new tenet each year. High among the "best efforts" is the weekly laminating of the Mini Page, so it can be used by more than one student, with wipe-off pens." Really Bright Ideas!
