Hispanic Educator Recognized by Governor Scott

By Dr. Maria I. Pouncey
Gloria Matos, Gadsden County teacher from Greensboro Elementary was recognized by Governor Rick Scott and First Lady Ann Scott during the 2017 Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration in Tallahassee, FL.
Mrs. Gloria Matos received recognition as the Excellence in Education Award winner for the Elementary School Category. The contest is opened each year through the Governor’s office in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Students and educators throughout the state participated in the Hispanic Heritage Month contest with the theme of “A Recognition of the Role of Hispanic-Americans in Shaping Florida Today”.
Mrs. Matos was nominated by her Gadsden County peers who explained why they thought she should receive the award, and how she had made an impact in their lives, as well as in her students’ lives, school, and community. She was recognized as one of the many influential Hispanic Floridians who selflessly contribute to the educational and economic health of her community in Greensboro and throughout Gadsden County. She has also worked with our organization, PAEC, during the summer, teaching our migrant students and English Language Learners. Mrs. Matos was surprised by Superintendent Roger Milton, along with the School Board of Gadsden County, who were extremely proud of Mrs. Matos’ recognition.
Mrs. Matos is another example of how our Hispanic community is making an impact on future generations! Mrs. Matos is one more example of Hispanics making a difference!

This is just placeholder text. Don’t be alarmed, this is just here to fill up space since your finalized copy isn’t ready yet. Once we have your content finalized, we’ll replace this placeholder text with your real content.

Sometimes it’s nice to put in text just to get an idea of how text will fill in a space on your website.

Traditionally our industry has used Lorem Ipsum, which is placeholder text written in Latin. Unfortunately, not everyone is familiar with Lorem Ipsum and that can lead to confusion. I can’t tell you how many times clients have asked me why their website is in another language!

There are other placeholder text alternatives like Hipster Ipsum, Zombie Ipsum, Bacon Ipsum, and many more. While often hilarious, these placeholder passages can also lead to much of the same confusion.

If you’re curious, this is Website Ipsum. It was specifically developed for the use on development websites. Other than being less confusing than other Ipsum’s, Website Ipsum is also formatted in patterns more similar to how real copy is formatted on the web today.
