Review -- Wednesday, PG PTA's to honor teachers in January : f ' ' N.?, I - y hfr ; II F "... !-- .r-- - ' 'hwuiri By KAI.YN SKCRETAN The local schools will honor their teachers during the month of January by observing, "Teacher Appreciation Week." Each local PTA will think of creative ways to make the week special for teachers so they know they are appreciated. There are so many outstanding teachers in Pleasant Grove who give of their time and means because of a love of children and young people. Mr. Terry Tucker of Pleasant Grove High is one of Pleasant Grove's outstanding teachers. He has been teaching for 18 years and spent the past 15 years in the Pleasant Grove Jr. High and senior high schools. He really loves kids and one way he can reach them is by helping them excel. He feels all kids need to have something they can do well and for many, clogging and par-ticipation in the choir has fulfilled that need. Last year the doggers par-ticipated in 52 performances during the school year. This did not include a six week tour to France where students performed one to three times each day. "To represent the United States has been the greatest honor ever given Cloggers West," expressed Tucker. It was a thrill to be contacted by Mary Bee Jensen of BYU, director of the BYU International dancers. Clogging was introduced to the high school by Mr. Tucker and Cloggers West is the oldest con-tinuous clog dance team in the Intermountain West. Joan Merril, the PG High PTA President commented about the many students who return to the high school after graduation to visit with Mr. Tucker. Many come to show an engagement ring, or bring their children for Mr. Tucker to see. Mrs. Merrill took a tape to Mr. Tucker and ask the choir to make a recording for Kori Gentry, a PG high student who has been in the hospital in Salt Lake City since an accident last fall. Mr. Tucker made the recording and also plans to have the Chamber Choir sing for Kori. Every opportunity is taken ad-vantage of for the students to perform. Students performed in California during the Christmas holidays and they are preparing for Terry Tucker looks over mementos and awards received at the Montoire Festival in France where they received world-wid- e honors. a clogging competition in March and are planning to travel to the East in April. The kids in choir are serious about school, they enjoy school and it gives them a feeling of respon-sibility and a desire to finish and do well in school. It smooths the edges of a math or another challenging class. Active in the LDS Church, Mr. Tucker serves as the stake organist and the elders quorum instructor. He and his wife are the parents of five children, their oldest daughter attends BYU where she is involved in folkdancing. His wife is proud of her husband's desire to help youth and supports him in all his efforts. She said, even though he's gone a lot, when he's home, he's home. Pleasant Grove is proud to claim Mr. Tucker as a leader of the youth and acknowledges him for the recognition he has brought to Pleasant Grove. ''' ' s HA W i ' 4 .
