We would like to recognize two teachers who have recently received awards.
Anna Browne
One of the most important functions of the Oregon Science Teacher Association (OSTA) is to recognize outstanding science educators across the state. Each year the OSTA Executive Board selects several individuals for statewide and regional awards, selected by committee from individuals nominated by members of OSTA. Recently, at the annual OSTA Awards Dinner held in Coos Bay, Oregon, Anna Browne was awarded OSTA Outstanding Classroom Teacher for Region 5. She was given this award based on her ability to motivate student achievement in science. Additionally, she was recognized for her facilitation professionally and excellence and continuous improvement in science education.
Dave Boor
Recently the mayor of Boardman presented RHS wrestling coach, David Boor, with the Oregon Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness & Sports, the 2011 Fitness Leadership Award. Several members of the wrestling team were present when Mr. Boor received this award. This award is in recognition of Oregonians who support the council’s mission of promoting physical fitness and wellness in the state. Mayor Phillips nominated Coach Boor for his coaching of approximately 500 students over the 9 years that he has been the RHS wrestling coach. During this time Riverside High School has qualified for state 45 times, with 6 times that they have produced the state champion.
