The Sooner chapter of AMBUCS surprised Jane McGill, Special Education Teacher at Jefferson Elementary School, when Bill Terry, AMBUCS, (on the right) and Justin Milner, NPS Special Education Director, named her the Special Education Teacher of the Year and presented her with a $500 check provided by the Sooner AMBUCS. Sooner AMBUCS and Director Milner selected Ms. McGill because of the leadership she provides to Jefferson Elementary staff and students. Ms McGill's initiatives have significantly enhanced teacher/parent/child relationships between home and school. Her peers recognize her as someone who uses a variety of learning methods for troubled students. Her advice and counsel are regularly sought to help students with special needs. Her principal, Dr. Kathy Taber, nominated Ms. McGill because of her total involvement in all activities at Jefferson where she has taught for 23 years. Ms. McGill’s family and Dr. Joseph Siano, Superintendent NPS, attended the presentation.

Dustin Hadlock and Darrell Green, Recreational Activities Specialists at the JD McCarty Center for Children with Developmental Disabilities, pose in front of musical and other toys donated by the Sooner AMBUCS chapter. The photo taken at Copelin's Office Supply in Norman, Ok shows rhythm sticks, beginner band sets, band in a box sets, tambourines, jazzy jingles, bell clips, adjustable bendy bells, train whistles, eggs cha cha, textured blocks, stacking activity cubes, Tangles, wooden abacus...you name it, we got it. We had fun picking all this stuff out -- a good excuse for playing with toys in public without looking totally foolish. The Sooner Chapter of Ambucs thanks Copelin's for giving us a generous discount and helping us locate all sorts of great toys with emphasis on those proven useful for children with disabilities.
