Nicki Hudson, Oregon’s
teacher of the year, encour­
ages Oregonians to thank
teachers who made a differ­
ence in their lives by send­
ing them a Valentine’s card.
Hudson, a math teacher
at West Linn High School,
received public attention
when she was named 1998
Oregon Teacher of the year
last fall.
‘‘The personal messages 1
received from former stu­
dents and parents made me
feel extra special,’’ Hudson
said.
“1 got to thinking of the
teachers who were influen­
tial in my life.
I want them and others to
feel good about what they
do.”
