Mr. Antwine, I think that was an awesome way to bring Black History to life for your students, even though it may have had some Hollywood theatrics to make it interesting, as long as the overall theme was revealed they will remember this day forever. Keep up the good work my brother. We need more male teachers of color in the classroom. As a Lamar Graduate you are doing that district proud. You deserve this nomination because are moving mountains through exposure to the past.

He is a great teacher. He truly cares and wants the best for the kids he teaches. His hardwork goes beyond the classroom and is a positive role model for these kids to look up to. He pushes and encourages the kids to be the best person they can be! We need more people in the world like that!
