"I was

so excited and honored to come away with the third place award. I was

very surprised to learn that I had placed," said Allen.

In addition

to being nominated for teacher of the year, Allen was also elected to

serve as chair-elect of elementary physical education for the state and

will automatically become chairman next year. Her duties will include

planning the association's annual conventions, working with the teacher

of the year committee and keeping up with state mandated changes in elementary

physical education.

"I wanted

to run for this office because I wanted to be more involved in what is

going on in the state regarding PE. I also want to help keep my fellow

teachers in the county abreast of changes that might be on the horizon,"

she says.

Allen has taught

physical education at Kedron since 1999.
