An eighth grade teacher at Slidell Junior High School has been named Middle/Junior High Division Teacher of the Year for 2009-2010 by the St. Tammany Parish Public School System. Melinda Boteler, left, was congratulated by the School Board at its October meeting after she was introduced by Superintendent Gayle Sloan, right. Ms. Boteler found her calling when she was given a chance while in the eighth grade to work with first grade students for a week. From that moment on, she was hooked on teaching. She was commended for striving to reach out to each student and make a difference in their lives. Her work with outstanding administrators helped make her a better teacher, she said.
