TEACHER:  Mr. Andy Baumgartner - 1999 Teacher of the Year
SCHOOL:  A. Brian Merry Elementary School, Georgia

I was reading your article about Mr. Andrew Baumgartner, the National Teacher of the Year, and I was really impressed. I am a high school Freshman in Georgia. When I started school in the fall of 1988, I was enrolled in Mr. Baumgartner's (Mr. B's) class. I enjoyed all of his creative approaches to learning; he made a difference! I would just like to take the time to say Congratulations Mr. B!!!!!
