Danielle received a professional classroom makeover worth $10,000 for submitting essays and lesson plans that emphasized safety rules for elementary school students. Her project "Superheroes of Safety" used fictional comic book characters to teach children how to protect themselves against child predators.
Danielle's second grade classroom has been completely transformed with beautiful tables and chairs, updated computers and a special VIP lounge area where students can relax, read quietly and work on their safety project.
Danielle Kovach, Hopatcong Teacher of The Year, was selected as a 2009
Grand Prize Winner of the Got 2B Safe Contest offered by Honeywell Hometown Solutions
and The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
NJEA's "Classroom Closeup" television program featured an interview with Danielle Kovach, Hopatcong School Officials and Borough representatives during the months of April and May 2009.
