Bill and Joan at the TOY banquet
If you’ve been reading the posts during the last 10 months you know that Bill Buzza, music educator from Leavitt Area High School, was a finalist for Maine State Teacher of the Year (TOY). Bill is a wonderful teacher and represented the arts education community through the tedious, time consuming process for 2011 TOY. Bill was a finalist for TOY. Williams Elementary School in Oakland grades 4/5 teacher Shelly Moody was selected to represent teachers in Maine for 2011.
Last week the annual TOY banquet was held and Bill was introduced by one of his previous students who is now a student at UMF. The students mom, Bill’s parents from Presque Isle and his previous principal were there. Also attending was retired music educator Joan Hamann. It was great to see her and learn about her new business called Searchlight People Locators. She and her husband help adoptees, birth families, retired military, lost friends and classmates find each other.
Once again congratulations to Bill and a GREAT big THANK YOU for representing Maine educators through the process!
