Omodt, Robertson BCSD 101 stars
Special education director Ken Olson nominated
17-year para-professional Barb Robertson, better
known to most in the community as that golden,
soaring voice who has launched the Boundary
County Fair for years with both the "National
Anthem" and "Oh, Canada."According to Olson, Barb has made a huge difference in the lives of many students working in a variety of roles.
She's worked with kids in the pre-school program, in the life skills classroom and, for the past eight years, as the speech/language aide, who, working closely with the speech/language pathologist, helped children from around the district.
"She cares about every child she works with along with a deep caring for the school system and everyone involved in each school. She is a pleasure to work with and always has a smile on her face and a positive attitude," Olson said.
Luke Omodt has less history here in Bonners
Ferry, but he is recognized as being so
impressive that it took high school principal
Kirk Hoff more than 10 words to laud him.Omodt, by the way, is the new high school history/government teacher.
"Luke is new to our History/Government Deptartment this year and is doing great things both for the department and all students of BFHS," high school principal Kirk Hoff wrote. " Luke's leadership class is taking big strides under his guidance. For example, when this picture was taken, Luke was choreographer of the Teacher’s Interpretive Dance."
After that, Omodt was a a shoo in.
"I didn't know Mr. Hoff knew that many words," one student said.
