WARRENTON â Kirby Alston, an Exceptional Childrenâs Teacher at Mariam Boyd Elementary School, has been honored by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.
âIt is truly an exciting honor,â she said. She teaches kindergarten through fifth grade. âI was very shocked. But, Iâm excited and it is such an honor.â
