Congratulations to Principal Cory Schrank from Flinn Middle School in Rockford, Illinois.

Michelle Boonos nominated Principal Schrank, she writes:

I have worked for Flinn Middle School (RPS 205)for 2 yrs now and in my lifetime I have seen my fair share of teachers, Principals, Assistant Principal's and so on, just with growing up and going to private school my 12 years in school and my children followed suit. Mr. Cory Schrank is just AMAZING!! Now, we all know Mr. Schrank had to be a teacher before being a Principal and could you imagine IF he is this GREAT as a Principal how he was a teacher (OUTSTANDING)! Mr. Schrank has the biggest heart, full of compassion to every student/parent. Mr. Schrank is ALWAYS smiling and is Falcon PROUD! He pumps up the kids for learning and being in school everyday and the students love it.

As Teacher of the Week, Cory was surprised with a cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes and money to spend at WM Day Spa Salon.
