Every day this week, News
12 announced a winner for the Teacher Appreciation Week contest,
and the final winner is Christina Carlson from Lanes Mill Elementary
School in Bricktown.
Carlson teaches third grade,
and now, after 30 years of teaching, she says the recognition is incredibly
special to her.
“We start off our day with a
mirror and I tell them and explain to them that I want you to look in the
mirror so that you can see yourself the way I see
you in the mirror, and we start out by saying, 'I'm important. I am kind. I am
special. And I am loved'. And today I feel loved. Today I feel very, very
loved. Thank you. Thank you so, so much. It means a lot. It really, really
does,” says Carlson.
