"I'm absolutely humbled that they would
choose me," said Boaz, "I work with a lot of
great teachers in this state, and this truly is a
humbling experience."
Boaz is also a Close Up Advisor, coordinating
student trips to Washington, D.C. He and his
wife have been taking students to D.C. through
the Close Up program for the past 17 years.
"I believe that every generation stands on the
shoulders of the prev
ious generation,"
said
Boaz, "I have chosen to focus on government
and American History in a way that allows
students to experience what it's like to be part
of a democracy."
Mr. Boaz is one of three national
recipients of the VFW Teacher of the
Year Award. Each will receive a $1,000
donation to their individual professional
account, a $1,000 grant to their school
and an all-expense paid trip to attend the
VFW National Convention in July to
receive their national award.
