Mr. Locke - Teacher Extraordinaire

I have very exciting news about my awesome hubby!! As you all know he is a Special Ed teacher at a middle school here in Nampa. He has the Emotional Disturbance section of Special Ed. Last month he applied for a grant to help pay for some supplies for an instructional tool that he uses in his class.
Well he won it!! I am so proud of him! He definitely deserves it. No one knows how hard he works and how much he cares about his students and it was well deserved! They even presented him with a big check!! Woohoo!!
Here is a picture they took for their website:
You can see Matt (third from left) holding his check! On the far left is Christian, a PSR worker that works with one of the kids in Matt's room, then is Kendrick, an aide that works in Matt's room, then Matt (Mr. Locke - Teacher Extraordinaire :)), then Lara, another aide who helps in his room. Then in the front row are just some of his kids!

Good job Matt! We are so proud of you!!

Way to go Matt!! We think you are so awesome to do the job you are doing. There are not many people that can do what you do!!!!
You make your job seem enjoyable, at unenjoyable times, by the funny stories you tell us.
We are so proud.
