ORLANDO, Fla. – Jay Leonard, general manager for the Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels’ Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort, recently welcomed A+ for Teachers at Downtown Disney contest winner Maribel Roman, an English teacher at Dr. Agustin Stahl High School in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico.
Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels selected 10 essay winners in its third annual national contest, hosted in partnership with AirTran Airways and Walt Disney World® to honor outstanding teachers who were nominated by a student. Winning essays were selected based on overall content, grammar and heart; and winners each received a four-day, three-night vacation to the Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels.
Roman was nominated as an “A+ Teacher” by her student eleventh grader Michael Stephen Mejias Pagan of Bayamon, Puerto Rico, because she inspires him, gives him hope, lifts his spirits and makes learning fun. He praised her unusual teaching methods, including a cooking show video to practice speech skills.
