White Oak Kindergarten teacher, Nancy Larson, had a great surprise on Tuesday, May 3, 2005.  She was honored with North Versailles Township Wal-Mart's Teacher of the Year award.  Miss Larson was awarded a $50 shopping card to buy classroom supplies, a plaque, and flowers.  Also, White Oak School will receive a $1000 educational grant to benefit their school.


Wal-Mart's Teacher of the Year program is one of the largest teacher recognition programs in the country.  Since its inception in 1995, the Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year program has recognized more than 22,000 teachers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and contributed more than $15 million to those schools.
