My name is Gay Beck, and I'm the Utah Teacher of the Year. And I would like to honor a friend
that has inspired me, a colleague that teaches in Alpine School District with me. This friend
began as an aide in my classroom. She went on to get her degree and then to complete
her Masters degree. Her name is Annika Grimes, and she has now taught kindergarten for several
years in our district, became a curriculum coach and is a great inspiration to me personally.
She influences teachers in our district and many, many students in our district along
with their parents. So I say kudos to her today.
