I'm pretty..
Congratulations to my dear friend, Jennifer Lopez,
2009 California State Teacher of the Year!
.
I am so proud of my friend, but I am not surprised. Her dedication, intelligence, and love for children has earned her this prestigious recognition. Not only is she my beautiful BFF, she and I have worked together now for nearly fifteen years, and I have enjoyed each moment, basking in her expertise and wit.
.
As a California Teacher of the Year recipient, Jennifer will be taking a leave of absence to tour California schools to read to children and give speeches. As a captivating and motivating public speaker, Jennifer will discuss on her tour student motivation and putting excitement back into the dry state curriculum. She will also discuss innovative ways to reach at-risk students. Furthermore, a foundation for heightening awareness regarding the risks of wearing white pants to school has been established in her name, The Jennifer Lopez Foundation for Heightening Awareness Regarding the Risks of Wearing White Pants to School.

Jennifer is has also been a three time recipient of the coveted Mother of the Year Award in 2007, 2008, and 2009. Not only that, but she has a great rack.
.
If you would like to book her for a district/school event in your area, please visit her blog, Almost Famous. Act fast as her schedule is filling up quickly.
.
And if you'd just like to stop by Almost Famous and congratulate her, I know she would appreciate it as she loves to be the center of attention.
.
I love you, Jen, and I'm so proud of you.

Congrats JLo!!
Congratulations to your friend, Jennifer! That is an incredibly prestigious honor.
My friend Jose was selected also. They probably know each other, or at least met at the honoring event in Sacramento.
We need to support our teachers. The work that you do is amazing and as my boy enters Public School Kindergarten in the fall, I'm sure that my admiration with grow even more!
Jason, you're so freaking cleaver. What a delicious little tribute. I'm going to bop on over and give her some congrats!
Congrats Jennifer, and LOL at "I'm pretty" and she has a great rack! Heeheeheeeeeeeee
Justine :o )
You have awesome taste in friends! Congrats to Jennifer!
Wow. How amazing. And you knew her when!
Wow. Seriously. Wow. What an honor for a great woman!
And by honor I mean, you know, being YOUR friend and all...
Done. I always do what the teacher tells me. *wink* Can I have my A now?
First of all, it's so wonderful that you have such a great friend. Second of all, I have so much respect for you teachers. You are all so under paid and under appreciated. Congratulations to Jennifer on winning this much deserved award...and what a wonderful friend you are to recognize her!
WOW!!! That's awesome! Congrats!
wow, she can sing and dance, and now teach too? Or am I mixing her up with another J Lo....
A celebrity!! Congrats to JLo!! Off to give her a HIGH 5!!!
That's very exciting!!! :)
However, IRONY! "You are so talented at teaching, we're going to use that talent by not letting you teach for a year!" ;)
I think the people think I'm actually CA's TOTY and that I'm actually tourning and NOT teaching. You are so bad.
Great post....and since both my parents were educators when they were working, I applaud your friend and that you are a teacher, also. Yay you! :)
Hey, check out my latest post. I left you a present! :)
Congrats Jennifer! If I lived in California I would come to hear you speak in a heartbeat. I've been volunteering in daughters 9th grade honors humanities class and her teacher is having me do a guest lecture/lesson in two weeks - NERVOUS!
I do think I'm learning so much just by watching an amazing teacher and I'd love to hear Jennifer speak to pick up more tips! Maybe she can do a quick tour of Washington State too...
WOW! Congrats to her! She is lookin' fab in that pic, too!
Congratulations to J-lo, and to you J-son for being such a friend. I'm sure you were a good role model for your BFF with the great rack!
Congrats! What a great lady and what a lucky bunch of kids who get to be in her class.
Still not wearing white pants, though.
