Congratulations Maine's Teacher of the Year!!

The Margeson Family

Brethren,  I hope you take a moment to congratulate Alana Margeson on becoming Teacher of the year.  If you are not aware Alana is the wife of Caribou Lodge member Br. Erich Margeson. 

She is a 12 year educator at Caribou High School and mother of four wonderful boys.  I know Alana from community, church and the fact that our children attend school together.

In my opinion the recognition given this award is wonderful but only partially speaks to the character and ability of this wonderful lady.


According to the Bangor Daily News, "Alana will go to Texas in January to meet the other teachers of the year and to Washington, D.C., in May to meet President Barack Obama. She also will attend Space Camp in Alabama in July, and will make a video two months later to document why she loves teaching so much. She then will go on to compete in the selection process for the 2012 National Teacher of the Year. The winner of that honor will be announced in April 2012 at the White House."

Again, I hope you take a moment to congratulate the Margesons and be proud that Maine's Teacher of the Year supports her Mason.
