We would like to congratulate Delaware’s Teacher of the Year, Wendy Turner. Wendy is a second grade teacher at Mount Pleasant Elementary School and we learn more about her when she joins us on the show today. She tells us about how teaching wasn’t her first career and what it was like to receive such an honorable title.

Any lifelong surfer knows that surfing is a lifestyle and the lessons you learn in the water can be applied to many facets of life. Some local middle school students are learning that first hand. Sean spent some time with the Surf Into Integrity crew to find out how lives are being changed one wave at a time.
