Fernwood Elementary School first-grade teacher Nicole Ryan was honored last Friday with the STAR 101.5 Teach of the Week Award by afternoon radio host Curt Kruse, who made a surprise visit to her classroom.
Ryan was nominated by one of her students, Evan Adami. Each student received a goody bag full of prizes from Applebee’s, Washington State Employees Credit Union (WSECU), Dairy Farmers of Washington, KOMO 4 and STAR 101.5.
As the weekly winner, Ryan received an award plaque, a $100 check from WSECU and a $100 gift card from Applebee’s, as well as a makeover courtesy of Blanc N’ Schwartz Salon in Kent.
