The TMA Ernest and Sarah Butler Awards for Excellence in Science Teaching recognize and reward schoolteachers at the elementary, middle, and high school levels who share their energy and enthusiasm for science with their students. Winners receive a monetary award, plus a resource grant to support their school’s science curriculum.
“It is truly a privilege to represent such an outstanding educator in the Texas House. Krystal is an asset to East Texas and I could not be any prouder to see her go above and beyond to educate our Texas children,” said Rep. White. “As a former educator myself, I know the difference teachers make in their students’ lives. I hope many of her students will go into the science field and keep their talents in our community.”
