This month the Weber School District was given the opportunity to recognize Mr. Lee Allen and Mrs. Barbara Bingham during our monthly school board meeting. Mrs. Bingham was nominated for the "Super Sub Award" by Principal Ray Long of Bonneville High School, and Mr. Allen was nominated for the "Exceptional Volunteer Award" by Ms. Heather Neilson, principal of West Haven Elementary.

Mr. Lee Allen has been a substitute teacher and volunteer extraordinaire at West Haven Elementary for 10-1/2 years. In the past decade, he has proven to be an invaluable member of the West Haven team, tirelessly finding ways to help teachers and students. He has done just about everything from building scenery for the 6th grade play to teaching the kids how to take care of flag duty. Lee says that he considers the students at West Haven "his kids," and knows many of them by name. Ms. Heather Neilson states, "He is kind and caring, generous and thoughtful, innovative and talented. If there is anything at West Haven that needs doing, Lee is one of the first to come to the rescue and save the day."

Mrs. Barbara Bingham is a very special member of the Bonneville High family. In fact, most of the students call her "grandma." She has spent 46 years as a substitute teacher at Bonneville, and has taught generations of kids. Mr. Ray Long reports that he is astounded at the way in which Mrs. Bingham is able to manage the classes she is assigned to teach. "I think of all the many ways the students of Bonneville have benefited from having her as a substitute teacher, whether it is in an English class, History class, or a Math class. I have personally observed her in a P.E. class and I was blown away with her ability to manage the class so well!" Mrs. Barbara Bingham was awarded the "Super Sub" award as a thank you for her years of tireless dedication to the Lakers.

Congratulations to these two deserving award winners. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to recognize your unique gifts and talents. We express our gratitude for your dedication and enthusiasm!
