Lourdes College alumna Ms. Maria Christina Ganas, from Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines, just got a surprise after she was conferred with the Excellence in Teaching Award by the Los Alamos National Laboratory Foundation last May 10. She was chosen for the award after being nominated by colleagues, parents, and students for being an outstanding educator at Pablo Roybal Elementary School in Pojoaque Valley School District in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. She will be receiving $1,000 thanks to Northern New Mexico Integrated Security, LLC. Congratulations!
