Michelle Kersey-Smith, Roy High School
"Why Mrs. Kersey?: I had Mrs. Kersey all three years of high school and everyday, I genuinely looked forward to seeing her and being in class! I knew when I walked in, I would be greeted with a warm welcome and smile. She always knew when I was having a bad day even when I tried to be subtle about it and when she noticed, she took it upon herself to give me and any other student who needed one, a pep talk and a hug! She always had snacks for us and made sure that our whole class got a birthday gift from her. Mrs. Kersey was a listening ear when I needed one and someone that I could always count on to make me feel at peace when I was having a hard time finding any. She is genuinely the most compassionate person that I have ever met and I think that she would be perfect for this award. Mrs. Kersey always said that she was grateful to be a little grain of sand on our beach but, I can confidently say that she was so much more to me!"

College football rankings poll projection. Could Georgia lose ground to Utah
The lead between the top two could tighten in this week’s US LBM Coaches Poll after Utah’s 40-39 road win against Arizona . That gives the Utes three wins against teams in the current rankings. Combined with its unbeaten record, Utah could cut into Georgia ’s advantage in first-place votes. The Utes had 14 first-place votes to the Bulldogs’ 54 in last week’s Top 25. But Georgia delivered its own win against a ranked opponent in Missouri, though this win came at home. That will guarantee that Georgia remains No. 1 with room to spare. There may be no movement in the new top 10 unless voters are swayed by Wake Forest’s 49-21 win against SMU . Ranked No. 11 heading into the weekend, the Demon Deacons would need to leapfrog Texas Tech after the Red Raiders ’ win at Oklahoma State. Here’s how the top 10 of this week’s Coaches Poll should look: 1. Georgia (9-1) Georgia has unlocked a new level of game control. The Bulldogs led Florida 24-0 at halftime on Halloween, led Ole Miss 28-0 at halftime last week and then put up 21 points in the first quarter of Saturday’s 48-21 romp against Missouri. There

Arlene Retired After 57 Years of Teaching. Then She Went Back to the Classroom at 87: "I Didn't Like Being Home Alone"
Arlene VanDyke had already given 57 years to the classroom when she retired. By any measure, she had earned the rest. It did not last. In January 2023, KSL 5 News in Salt Lake City found her back at Wasatch Elementary in Ogden, Utah, still working in the month she turned 90. Reporter Mike Anderson said it was the second time she had come out of retirement. The reason she first went back was personal. KSL reported that after she lost her husband, she needed to do something, and the school was where she wanted to be. “School is a happy place to be,” she told the station. “I just came back volunteering. I didn’t like being home alone and I missed teaching.” The volunteering turned into a full time job again at 87, according to KSL. She does not describe it as a sacrifice. “I loved it the first day I started teaching,” she said. “I’ve loved it ever since. It’s wonderful to have a job you love to go to.” She stepped away during the pandemic, KSL said, but after returning to volunteer, the arrangement became more permanent. Part of that was the school’s doing. “They just keep
