Brian & Todd Get Photo-Bombed Presenting Teacher Tuesday Award in Loveland

There are some schools that just do it right. Lucile Erwin Middle School in Loveland  is one of those schools.  That is where we went for Teacher Tuesday this week, to honor Mr. West. Matt West is an 8th grade language arts teacher and Mr. West's presentation turned out to be one of our best Teacher Tuesdays ever!

When Brian & I arrived at the school we were whisked off to the counselor's office along with Erika, who nominated Mr. West for the Teacher Tuesday Award. Meanwhile, an announcement was made over the intercom that all 8th graders and their teachers needed to report to an area of the school to "meet with the principal". Many of the students and teachers wondered if someone might be in trouble. Instead, we popped our heads in the room and the students went crazy. They knew immediately that it was Teacher Tuesday.

My favorite part of the visit was when Mr. West was forced to choose between a gift certificate for Rodizio Grill or The Melting Pot. He wanted The Brazilian Steakhouse and said his wife would choose The Melting Pot. Then a student shouted from the back of the room, "Be a man! Choose what you want!" So, he did. What he didn't know was his wife was in the back of the room for the presentation...busted!
