Kerry Kowalczyk named Novi "Teacher of the Year"

Kerry Kowalczyk, 1st grade teacher at Parkview Elementary School, has built a great reputation for “connecting” with her students through interactive, hands-on approaches to learning.  The parents love it, her students love it and the Novi Community School District loves it.

That’s why Kowalczyk received a huge surprise when district officials and supporters paid an impromptu visit to her classroom Monday afternoon to present her with the 2012 “Teacher of the Year” award.
