Judy Bjorklund, who teaches second grade at Roosevelt Elementary
School, has been notified that she is a finalist in the Woman’s
Day/Poise Rising Star Awards Contest. Bjorklund has been an elementary
teacher in urban schools for nearly 25 years. In addition to going
above and beyond the call of duty in the classroom, she also gives to
the community around school. For example, once a month—rain or shine
(or snow!)—she and her students walk five blocks to a nearby nursing
home to sing songs and do projects with the residents. The essay
nominating Bjorklund for the award is posted at WomansDay.com.
