Lisbon - If you know Philip W. Sugg Middle School teacher, Marilyn Curtis, her accomplishments as a teacher is no surprise to anyone.  In 2002, Mrs. Curtis was a finalist for Teacher of the Year.   Mrs. Curtis has been a Science and Math teacher since 1990.  Recently, she was one of only twenty eight other educators selected to attend the Governor’s Academy for Science and Math.  While at the Academy, Mrs. Curtis will meet with other teachers from around the State of Maine and United States to discuss the current areas of Science and Math.   Exactly how much time it will take to finish all the work required doesn’t bother Mrs. Curtis.  She will do her homework projects, read a lot, study and share all she learns with everyone in Lisbon education.  Mrs. Curtis loves being a teacher it “keeps her young.”  She loves to get up in the morning and come to her job, it is a great reward.  According to Mrs. Curtis, when she first left for college she only had $5.00, and was the first one in her community to attend college.  She was determined to be a teacher.   Mrs. Curtis would “like teachers to be enthusiastic about what they do and spread this enthusiasm to their students.”   As a student Mrs. Curtis feels “if you are excited you will learn.”  Congratulations to our teacher Mrs. Marilyn Curtis, we are proud of you!

Indeed Congratulations to Mrs. Curtis!
