SUBURBAN BUICK GMC OF FERNDALE REWARDS FERNDALE TEACHER OF THE YEAR

With a drumroll being beaten on the tables of Coolidge Middle School assembly room on Friday, June 13, three Ferndale Public Schools Teachers of the Year awaited the random drawing by Kevin Tierney, General Sales Manager, Suburban Buick GMC of Ferndale, for the use of a free, one-year lease of a new Buick or GMC vehicle.  The winner was Sarah Struzik, the school systems’ High School Teacher of the Year from Ferndale High School. 

Also saluted at the noon-time ceremony were Amanda Darling, Elementary Teacher of the Year (English Language Arts teacher at Roosevelt Primary School) and Tracey Yacks, Middle School Teacher of the Year (Ferndale Middle School.)

                The Suburban Collection, based in Troy, honors Teachers of the Year in some eight communities in Southeastern Michigan where they do business, by awarding a free, one-year lease of an automobile.  The communities, in addition to Ferndale, include Birmingham, Troy, Sterling Heights/Utica, Waterford, Novi, Farmington and Clarkston.
