We look forward to this surprise every year! Thank you to the Lawrence Schools Foundation and the wonderful generosity of "The Bobs" for recognizing Gina Carter with $10,000 for her outstanding teaching and support for students and the entire Woodlawn Elementary community. What a way to end our school year -- honoring educators who made it a great year! (fb)
