When I looked earlier this morning he was more than 200 votes behind. I just checked a moment ago and he is back in the lead....slightly.

Well, I just saw the results of the voting and Kirk did not win. But a very deserving teacher in Kennedale did win. Here is the information: Sandy Valentino from J.F. Delaney in Kennedale. There were over 35,000 votes and Ms. Valentino pulled in the most to win.

Kirk won the category judged by the judges, the peoples choice was another category and that was won by the teacher from Kennedale. My son was so excited for him and that it was to be on the news this morning. Mr. Evans is truly deserving, he is such a great teacher!
