Karen Drosinos, a kindergarten teacher from Pembroke Elementary, has been selected as one of only eight educators statewide to receive a Virginia Lottery Super Teacher Award.

The award, sponsored by the Virginia Lottery, the Virginia PTA and Virginia-based The Supply Room Companies, consists of a $2,000 cash prize and an additional $2,000 classroom credit from The Supply Room Companies.

Drosinos received her award in a surprise presentation at the school last Friday.
