We went to the National Building Museum for the annual NEA Foundation’s Salute to Excellence in Education Gala. We snapped Education First's Kathleen Welling, Oregon Teacher of the Year Michael Lindblad, and his wife, Oregon Education Association's Angela Lindblad.
The Salute to Excellence in Education Gala is an annual celebration of those who work in America’s public schools and the unique bonds that educators and students share. Here, TN teacher Ricky Newsom, NEA Board Member Nita Jones, TN Education Association President Barbara Gray, and 2016 NEA Global Fellow Kerri Newsom.
At the reception in the Main Hall of the Building Museum: Security Benefit's David Byrnes and Lisa Stubbs with NEA Member Benefits' Taren Coleman.
All evening, guests enjoyed special performances, including The Young People's Chorus of New York City with songs from The Sound of Music, and a Spanish flamenco guitarist. Here, NEA's Brian Sterling, CA Casualty's Amy Grosso, and Lisa Almeida.
