Surprise Ceremony Announces For MPS And Marcus Center Teacher Appreciation Award

Milwaukee Public Schools and the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts will honor a local elementary school teacher's long-standing support of the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration.

Currently a 3rd Grade teacher at Trowbridge School of Great Lakes Studies on Milwaukee's South Side, this teacher has been a Milwaukee Public Schools' educator since 1987. During this time she has diligently worked with students teaching about the life and beliefs of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. She has enrolled students in different city-wide King contests throughout the years. Students under her guidance have been award winners at least seven times.

The teacher will be surprised with a plaque, an IPAD, flowers, and Broadway Show tickets to see Finding Neverland at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts this February.

This year will mark the 34th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration in Milwaukee - one of just two cities that have celebrated the holiday annually since 1984. The celebration will take place at the Marcus Center on Sunday, January, 14 at 1 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

WHEN: Friday, January 12, 2018
