On January 15th, 2008, Jeanne Burtzel, 6th Grade Teacher at John Clark Elementary School in Rockville was presented the 2007 Outstanding Educator award.  Jeanne was chosen by the Center for Academic Excellence in the category of Ethics IN Education.  She was recognized for her creation and implementation of a program called "Family Groups."

Jeanne's "Family Groups" program brings together students for grades 1-5  who meet with 6th grade student leaders.  Once a month the students meet to complete an activity together that helps them in focusing on a personal character trait.   This group process has helped students grow in leadership, problem solving, organization and a sense of security.

DigElogROCORI congratulates Jeanne Burtzel and her Outstanding Educator Award.  Thank you for your dedicated and extraordinary service to the "Land Of Rocori"

Last weekend DigElog ROCORI had the opportunity to sit down with legendary high school basketball coach, Bob Brink. Coach Brink gives us an in-depth look at the 2007-08 season and how he goes about his daily routine of coaching. For coach Brink the road has been long and full of great moments. Not many people know that Bob Brink actually started his coaching career in South Dakota or that he has the second most wins in the State of Minnesota. Coach Brink has built a tradition and a way of life for his players that far surpass what they merely do on the court.
