Texas PTA Honorary Life Member
"One of the highest honors that may be presented to individuals for outstanding service to children and youth. Presentations of life memberships are made to publicly recognize those who have give their time and ability in the interest of young people in Texas."
Last night at Southfork Ranch, almost 200 educators and/or volunteers were honored for their service.
This is what was spoken about Brian:
"This is year 12 of teaching, arriving at MMS in 2003. "I am motivated by the fact that students choose to be in my class." He has always tried to show a picture of a life-long love of music to the students. From school concerts, Full Orchestra opportunities, performing works with the choirs, accompanying theater performances, even an occasional wedding, church, or special event, students are able to receive a full picture of the possibilities of music. What he wants everyone to know is that teaching students music is his first choice of anything he could do. Finally, what he does not want anyone to know: (especially don't tell Dr. "O"), "I would do this for free.""
It was a great evening of dinner, music and awards. Congratulations specifically to Brian, Van, Suzanne, Kim and Linda for all your service.

Brian--I am so proud of you. What an accomplishment. It's teachers like you that leave an indelible mark on kids. Years down the road we may have a famous pianist or orchestra conductor as a result of your labor. How exciting. I hope that you proudly display your plaque or trophy or whatever they presented you with. That's quite an honor. Re: Tiffany......I'm getting the distinct feeling that we might have the future "Mrs. Rawley" some time soon....(wink) Go Mark, Go Mark....she seems like such a sweet girl from what I've heard.
Congrats Brian! I am proud of you! I still remember my favorite teacher from High School! The man inspired by greatly!
