INSHAPE, the Indiana Society for Health and Physical Educators, recognized Crawn as among the elite of the school health education, physical education, dance and recreation professions.

“I include a lot of technology and do a lot of creative things here at Lost Creek,” said Crawn. “We do a lot of teambuilding, a lot of interactive stuff with technology. I want children to have a foundation for a healthy life.”

Crawn credits her mentors Lisa Davis, Cynda Osborne, and Debbie Anderson for her success.

“Through this pandemic, Vigo County PE teachers have brainstormed more than ever,” said Crawn. “It has been wonderful to come together during this overwhelming time of uncertainty and change.”

The Teacher of the Year Award enables INSHAPE to recognize the work of outstanding educators. State Teachers of the Year are selected among nominees after rigorous evaluation by the Association selection committee. The awards are given in recognition of outstanding teaching performance and the ability to motivate today’s youth to participate in a lifetime of physical activity.

“Our 2020 Indiana Teachers of the Year are indeed a special class of educators. They inspire their students as they make a difference in the daily lives of their students. These educators continue to model best practice, are leaders in their school corporations and are amazing advocates for the health of our Indiana youth. Their enthusiasm and energy motivate each of us to strive for quality wellness programs that will impact our Indiana schools and Hoosier communities,” noted Carole DeHaven, INSHAPE president.

The state award recipients will be recognized on November 2, 2020 during the organization’s Hall of Fame Awards Celebration via Zoom. The awards celebration is presented by U.S. Games, a division of BSN Sports of Dallas, TX.

INSHAPE Teachers of the Year now compete for the SHAPE America Midwest District Teacher of the Year. Midwest District Teachers of the Year become candidates for the 2021 SHAPE America National Teachers of the Year.

“If your student has never tried our breakfast, this is a great time to start,” said Tom Lentes, director of food services. “We are grateful to this USDA program and encourage all students—even those learning from home—to take advantage of these free meals.”

Meals purchased after August 18 will be credited back to the child’s account. The district started the program today, and reimbursement retroactive to August 18 will take several weeks as Vigo County School Corporation Food Services works with their software vendor to reconcile the charges.

Meals are available for students learning from home—traditional students on their remote learning day, and fully-at-home hybrid or virtual students—by calling the school and speaking to the kitchen manager.

Those who qualify for free/reduced lunch are still encouraged to go to www.myschoolapps.com and complete an application, so that they can receive textbook fee assistance and are enrolled in the program when the USDA program ends on December 31.
