Salem school board recognizes teachers
Susan Bowman, Latin teacher at Salem High, received the David Cox Excellence in Foreign Language Education Award by the Foreign Language Association of Virginia, equivalent to the "teacher of the year" for K-12 in the entire state.
"Letter after letter from students indicating that they may have wanted to take Spanish and instead took Latin, that they plan on continuing their studies into college," said Curtis Hicks.
The school board also recognized its employees for pledging a total of $24,440 to United Way.
