If you’ve been a Sullivan Middle School student or had a kid at SMS recently, chances are you know what teacher is associated with those words.
Deena Lee, who many people associate these words with as well as the positive impact she has on many students, recently received the Recognition of Excellence Award from the Regional Office of Education #11.
According to the ROE #11 website, the award recognizes teachers who have “modeled excellence in education” and who are “exceptionally skillful and dedicated individuals who have the respect and admiration of students, parents, and co-workers.”

Their most important quality is their superior ability to inspire a love of learning in students of all backgrounds and abilities.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
