Sweeney – The Bay Net Photo by Mandy Echoff |
On the last day of classes before Thanksgiving there was a special surprise in store for Ms. Evelyn Sweeney, who recently received the national Milken Educator Award.
In their temporary home behind Benjamin Banneker, Sweeney’s Leonardtown Elementary School class welcomed visitors from the school board – bedecked with balloons and smiles.
Unfortunately the visit wasn’t a complete surprise for Sweeney. Previously the school and administrators had kept the surprise such a secret that Sweeney was out on a field trip when the superintendent and officials arrived to recognize her last week. Yesterday Sweeney had been tipped off but still beamed and enjoyed the visitors.
