Morgan Elementary School staff - past and present - filled last night's Paducah Public Schools Board of Education meeting to celebrate music teacher Kim Davidson.
The First District of the Kentucky Music Educators Association (KMEA) recently named Davidson Elementary Music Teacher of the Year.
Davidson had a surprise for the crowd, though! She had just learned the school district's music educators had earned the Best Communities for Music Education Award from The NAMM Foundation... for the ninth year. (More on that good news to come!)
Congratulations, Mrs. Davidson! Thank you for being a leader in music education, in our district and at Morgan Elementary!


Congratulations, Mrs. Davidson! It's great to see your dedication to sharing the joy of music with your students recognized with the First District KMEA Elementary Music Teacher of the Year award!
