To say that Mikie O Shea leads an interesting life would be somewhat of an understatement! Born and raised in Nadd on the sunny slopes of the Boggeragh Mountains, Mikie now resides in the land of the Rising Sun where he works in international education and as a gifted musician also promotes and highlights Irish traditional music in Japan and globally through his website. I emigrated from Ireland to pursue a career in international education in 2011, having spent three years teaching (and learning the ropes from my fabulous colleagues) at St. Brigid s National school in Blackwater, Co. Wexford, Mikie told The Corkman.
Two Bozeman School District teachers have been recognized as finalists for a prestigious national teaching award in math and science.
Lisa Moellenkamp, a kindergarten teacher at Longfellow Elementary School, and Christine OâShea, a fourth and fifth grade teacher at Hyalite Elementary School, were among five Montana finalists for the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching.
The award is considered one of the highest honors for U.S. educators teaching math and science in kindergarten through 12th grades.
Moellenkamp has taught kindergarten at Longfellow for 11 years and has worked in education for about 25 years. OâShea has taught for 14 years after changing careers from computer publishing.
