Huggins Elementary music teacher Melinda Norwood is the Rosenberg Veterans of Foreign Wars’ K-5 Teacher of the Year.
Huggins Assistant Principal Kayla Huggins nominated Norwood for her service to the community.
“Ms. Norwood volunteers her time to lead a school choir and Trash Can Band each year, Hoth wrote. “Both of these groups of students perform at various community events throughout the year including the Mayor’s Breakfast, Fulshear community parades and special events. The two groups also visit local nursing homes to perform for residents. Through these events, students learn what it means to give back to the community they live in by performing and volunteering at the events.”
Norwood received the honor April 3 at the Rosenberg VFW.
