Newsbrief: Gainous wins ESOL award

by Kevin Chang, Page Editor
Principal Phillip Gainous recently won the 2001-2002 MCPS ESOL/Bilingual Advisory Committee's (EBAC) Principal of the Year award.

The award was created by the EBAC in 1996 to honor a "principal who has demonstrated outstanding support to the ESOL/bilingual program."

School staff nominate candidates and parents and students give the EBAC comments about individual candidates.

Emily van Loon, a member of the Blair PTSA Staff Recognition Committee, said, "We are proud of Mr. Gainous and his commitment to the ESOL students at Blair."

    Take it from a student who's trilingual...this is an honor. Although I am not or have ever been in an ESOL program, I think it's good that Blair is being recognized for something international such as this.

    "We" should be in caps in last sentence.
    Alert :Any story about stabbing on Fri (or any stabbing story) should not name names without my approval. (Think lawsuits)
