Congratulations Lavena Castro Babauta—Teacher of the Year. Lavena has described her passion for teaching as resulting from the students’ eagerness and “longing for learning.” This is truly the driving force for teachers. But let me add another “driving force” footnote. I was fortunate to have Lavena as a student and worked very closely with her dad. The joy that a teacher gets late in their career if they stay in the community where they teach is seeing the success of a person like Lavena finally be recognized and applauded. Lavena, you’re beautiful! Congratulations!
