News Brief: Griffin gets spotlight

Science teacher Lorraine Griffin was awarded the title of Mid-South Teacher of the Week by Channel 3 News.  According to her students, she was nominated for her ability to make a difficult subject easy and for the close bond she shares with her students.

Channel 3 reporter Tim Simpson and a camera crew surprised Griffin and her sixth-period class  to acknowledge her accomplishment.  While Griffin was completely unaware, the rest of the science department had hung a banner outside her classroom and prepared a soft drink and cookie party for her and her class to enjoy.  The obvious admiration for this teacher has earned her this recognition.
