FacUlty grants

The Kellner Great Teacher Award was initiated by a gift from George and Bicky Kellner, parents of Peter ’84. The Kellner Great Teacher Award recognizes outstanding achievement by an Allen-Stevenson teacher. The 2012 recipient is Fourth Grade Teacher Haruka Mori.

“I am honored to have received The Kellner Great Teacher Award. My grandparents dedicated their whole lives to education in rural Japan, and they always told me, ‘It may be easy to become a teacher, but it is extremely challenging to be a great one.’ I have observed lessons, exchanged ideas, and learned from the wonderfully talented teachers and creative students at Allen-Stevenson, and I am grateful that I have been given an opportunity to grow each and every day. AllenStevenson is always filled with warm smiles and laughter, and I feel fortunate to be a part of this caring community.”
