Lori Matthews is being recognized for her Excellence in Education.
Alicia Lazette, Lori’s nominator, says, “Lori has contributed to our school by helping develop this beautiful courtside garden space called the Bulldog Biodome, in which she has all of our students helping and contributing.”
“We're an old building and you know how old buildings, they have these courtyards right in the middle of the school,” says Lori, “And it was really just a relatively unused space, and I really just took that project under my wing to make it a usable, restful space, a learning space, a space where kids can just go out there and sit in the nice weather and relax. They really just need that out there. Such a valuable thing for them.”
