The Houston Rockets ball club recognized ten educators at the State Farm Teacher Appreciation Night game held on Jan. 24 against the Memphis Grizzlies, and two instructors from HISD schools were among them. Honorees were chosen from a pool of nominations submitted by students and parents, and those of Asma Ahmed (Askew ES) and Angela Persefield (Stevens ES) were selected.
Persefield (pictured) was nominated by parent Jon Harvey, whose son is a student in her first-grade class. “She has created an environment where my son can learn, blossom, and come out of his shell,” he wrote.
All honorees received two free suite tickets to the game and a gift bag. They were also recognized on the large video screen during the game and got to meet and have their photo taken with Clutch, the Rocket’s mascot.
Congratulations also go out this week to:
- HISD’s Officer of Curriculum Nancy Gregory, who was selected to receive the 2014 Southwestern Region Advanced Placement (AP) Award for Administrators from the College Board. This award recognizes an individual who has demonstrated significant impact on the AP program within their school or district; supports and promotes professional development; and participates and contributes to College Board activities.
