The Digital Voice Awards (DVA) are sponsored by the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) and honor exemplary classroom technology projects in Los Angeles county.
In the past ten years, Mrs. Yollis and her students have won two "Best Overall Elementary Project" DVA awards and several of her students have won individual DVAs. This year is the tenth anniversary of the awards. Mrs. Yollis is thrilled to be selected for the 10th anniversary Crystal Apple award. The Crystal Apple award is bestowed upon ten Los Angeles County Teachers to honor their innovative technology projects and creative teaching practices.
Mrs. Drake, from LACOE, came to the classroom to present Mrs. Yollis with the Crystal Apple.
Here is some information from the DVA website:

Digital Voice :: Crystal Apple Award
Dear Mrs.Yollis and class,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the award! I had a fun time waiting in the classroom, and getting to see what the Crystal Apple looked like. I really enjoyed meeting Mrs.Drake who presented the apple to Mrs.Yollis.
There was a case and the letter that was in there had a nice speech. The Digital Voice Awards (DVA) has given Mrs.Yollis a lot of awards that she is very proud of, and the apple shined brightly like a crystal.
Kudos to you,
