Teaches at Lancaster Elementary School 2009 NH Teacher of the Year Deborah Fogg

Everyone is waiting to find out what is going on.

Commissioner of Education, Lyonel Tracy surprises Deb (and everyone else) with the announcement.

Deb is presented with a clock in the shape of NH, with an inscription that reads: Deborah Fogg, 2009 NH Teacher of the Year, for your dedication and caring to the teaching profession.

In accepting her award the first thing Deb did was quote William Shakespeare from "A Midsummer Night's Dream." "I am amazed and I know not what to say."

2006 NH Teacher of the Year Kim Kenney and 2008 NH Teacher of the Year Benjamin Adams were there to support our next Teacher of the Year.
