2012 Legacy Award Winners
We are excited to share with you our two 2012 Legacy Award Winners. These individuals were nominated by students from their schools based on their involvement with not only that particular student, but with all their students, the school and community as a whole. Please help NRP by congratulating this year's 2012 Legacy Award Winners!
Phil Bressler, Economics teacher at Dulaney High School in Lutherville, MD. Nominated by Sam Fishman.
Sam commented that "Mr. Bresser inspires me to want to learn. He holds reviews during lunch, before and after school when we have tests or quizzes. He invites us to come in on days we don't have school if we have questions. In his class I have personally gotten to know all of my classmates. Mr. Bressler's class is a community where we learn, not as individual students competing for a high GPA, but as a group, all working toward the same goal. His passion and dedication to his students has caused me to consider a career as a secondary school teacher."
Chris Holloman, Mentor from East Wake Academy in Middlesex, NC. Nominated by Jordyn Benson.
Jordyn commented "If you ask anyone at our school, Mr. Holloman is the most kind hearted and generous person I have ever met. He has many names at our school like "Father" and my personal favorite "Holly Jolly" because I have never seen him without a good attitude and smile on his face. No matter if his he is up to his head in work, he will make time for you. He has set an example for everyone as far as leadership and compassion for others and that will definitely inspire future EWA students. He always puts others before himself and I think it's time for me to give him the recognition he truly deserves.
