Name of Intern: Deante Smith

School Name and Location:  Oak Grove Upper Elementary School

Name of Participating Teacher: Kim Cook

Describe the Success Story:

I think that the biggest success story is the newsletter also. I was assigned to Oak Grove Upper Elementary School. I had a student there who wrote a book about how the new technology in the classrooms has impacted her life. We chose to do a story on her and her teacher and include it in the newsletter. I elected to have a teacher at the school by the name of Kim Cook to receive the teacher of the year.

How did this activity/project benefit the teachers, students and the school?
Since day one Kim Cook has always been utilizing the technology in her class to its fullest potential. Recently she lost her husband due to a heart attack and yet she has shown strength and courage to continue teaching.
