GOLDEN APPLE: Kay McDowell from Lakeview Fort Oglethorpe High

Kay McDowell never takes the easy way out with her special ed class.

When they wanted to go on a field trip, instead of saying no because of funding concerns, she helped them make crafts to raise money, and learn a vocation.

McDowell emphasizes her students abilities and not their "disabilities," and holds them accountable for their actions… instead of giving them special treatment.

Watch the video to see why she’s this weeks Golden Apple Award winner.
