The Knightdale Chamber of Commerce Teacher Excellence Award (TEA) was presented to Pamala Tew, a 6th grade language arts teacher at East Wake Academy, during the April Business After Hours hosted by Berkshire Park Apartments.  Ms Tew said "Thank you for this wonderful recognition.  I feel that my greatest accomplishment as a teacher is to know that each June when my students walk out of my door I will have provided them with the skills they need to be independent thinkers, respectful individuals who are open to others' viewpoints, and advocates for their own learning."  Ms. Tew was presented with a $100 gift card and plaque from the Chamber and TEA co-host Berkshire Park Apartments.
