Mrs. Brelsford - Highlights from PA Teacher of Year Awards

This past year, Loyalsock was privileged to learn that Mrs. Kindra Brelsford, a Biology and AP Biology teacher, was selected as one of twelve (12) finalists for the 2012 PA State Teacher of the Year.  After being nominated by her principal, Dr. Matt Reitz, and a rigorous application, several essays, and video of one of her lessons, Mrs. Brelsford recently attended the annual Pennsylvania National Teacher of the Year program held in Hershey during the first week in December.  Mrs. Brelsford follows has become the second finalist from Loyalsock who reached this level; in 2002, Miss Carol Johnson, high school mathematics teachers, was inducted into the PA TOY organization.  While a teacher from Penns Valley School District was chosen as the Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Brelsford was in extremely good company.  With over 140,000 teachers state-wide, Mrs. Brelsford is one of the best twelve.  She represented just one of many other outstanding teachers in our school district, and her students’ achievements are the direct results of her labor and passion.  We are very proud of her accomplishment, for her dedication and commitment to public education, and to providing Loyalsock’s young people with the highest possible quality education.
