Teacher of the Year Award
Sue Hall, of Stevens Point, has received the 2020 Teacher of the Year Award from the Bluebird Restoration Association of Wisconsin (BRAW).
Hall was cited for her 35 years of teaching children to enjoy nature. She has installed bluebird nest boxes at six area grade schools. “The children are amazed at how the nests and eggs look, as well as how quickly the chicks grow,” said Hall.
In addition to helping monitor a trail with 40 nest boxes, she volunteers with bluebird displays at the local Children’s Museum, Boston School Forest, Monk Gardens in Wausau and Fall Family Festival at the Mead Wildlife Area near Milladore.
Hall assists husband Kent in giving a presentation “Learning to Think Like a Bluebird” at the Portage County Library and for the Natural Resources Foundation. They both have served on the BRAW board of directors.
