Nominating teacher: Michael Bena and Danielle Brown
Comments: Those of us who have had the opportunity to work with Michael Kennedy know how clever and considerate he is. His critical approach to new information is what every teacher hopes for in a student. His quick and dry humor often sets the tone for his peers. His unassuming charitable nature is inclusive and contagious. Michael has made this challenging year far more enjoyable than should have been possible.
