I am very proud to write a comment on behalf of this wonderful National Board Certified teacher. She is what every parent wants for their child. She has a wealth of knowledge and yet she continues to learn from college classes and workshops. Julie is enthusiastic and so creative. She has developed a curriculum that showcases writing and literature with visual arts. She is a mentor and leader in her school, her community, the Arkansas Reading Council, and has even served on Teacher Advisory Panel with the International Reading Association. Julie Huskey is an excellent choice for this award.
