Ep. 202: Golden Apple Teacher Awards

It's great to be able to recognize teachers who are really making a difference in students' lives, and the Golden Apple Award winners do just that. We're happy to do our part this week to help get the word out about what some innovative teachers are doing in the classroom.

Seven teachers from all around New Mexico were honored this Spring by the Golden Apple Foundation of New Mexico. We show the profiles of all seven, thanks to video provided by KRQE News 13. We are also fortunate to feature two of the teachers in our studio, as co-host David Alire Garcia interviews Christine Castillo and Sandy McMurray. You'll be inspired by them, and understand why they inspire their students. They're joined by the Executive Director of the Foundation, Celia Merrill.

Gene Grant and The Line Panelists are really fired up this week, too, on topics from the return of a streetcar proposal for Albuquerque to the Governor's request for citizens' input in the make-over of Expo New Mexico. And they can't resist catching up on the Presidential race.

We also feature an excerpt from one of our web-based videos; you can watch the entire video on the Bandera Ice Caves and Volcano, which we hope will entice you to explore more of our Land of Enchantment.

Enjoy!
