If
you attend our meetings, you may have seen a familiar
face on TV commercials recently. We are all very proud of the Children Apraxia Network's Vice President and Educational Consultant Cheryl
Johnson, who was one of the 800 teachers nominated for the NJ Award of
Excellence, and then selected as one of the only three out of the 800 as
the "Best of the Best," and asked to be filmed for TV
commercials to represent the "The Award Of Excellence In
Teaching!"
