Allen, Allen, Allen & Allen Recognizes the 2008 Virginia Teacher of the Year
Allen, Allen, Allen & Allen, is pleased to recognize Tommy R. Smigiel, Jr, who was recently awarded the honor of 2008 Virginia Teacher of the Year. Mr. Smigiel was awarded $2,500 on behalf of the Allen Law Firm for this great achievement in education.
Mr. Smigiel was also recognized as the Virginia Region II Teacher of the Year for 2008 and has taught in Norfolk Public Schools since 2000. Holding a B.S. from Old Dominion University and his Masters of Education from Cambridge College, he is currently teaching Earth Science and Teen Leadership at Norview High School. Believing that community service is part of a well rounded education, Mr. Smigiel has made this part of his curriculum. He encourages students to participate in neighborhood litter pick-up campaigns and volunteer service. Smigiel says he is dedicated to teaching with a "pay-it-forward" outlook.
Along with Mr. Smigiel, Allen and Allen recognizes the Virginia Regional Teachers of 2008: Tabitha L. Strickler of Colonial Heights High School, Charlotte (Dee) Strauss of George County High School, Suzanne W. Lank of Alexandria Public Schools, Susan P. Stanbery of Heritage High School, Susanne M. Dana from Blacksburg High School, Erin O. Wigginton of Pulaski County High School and Wanda R. Bass of Prince Edward County High School.
