Last week, Mrs. Zambrano was named PVHS teacher of the year. This is very exciting news because Mrs. Zambrano is a kind, wonderful, and loving person to her students and to the other teachers as well! She well deserved this recognition and on behalf of all the Link Crew members, I’d like to say that we’re all very proud of her and all she does for us! We asked Mrs. Zambrano what her thoughts and opinions were on receiving this recognition, and this is what she had to say:

“I’m honored…speechless! Especially because it’s done by staff members and colleague’s. A colleague nominated me and that made me feel really good because it means that someone feels that I’m deserving of this award. All teachers nominate someone and admin picks from that pool. I never thought I’d win this award. I’d been seeing the emails before, but I was really shocked when I opened the email because confetti and balloons were virtually put for the winner. I was like ‘what is this?’ I will be receiving a plaque at a meeting on Tuesday the 14th. Although I’m very honored, I feel that all teachers, especially for teacher appreciation week, should be recognized for their hard work because there are many staff that go above and beyond and it’s always nice to get something small like a “thank you” that’s heart felt. This one definitely for me, is very special!
