Congratulations to Mrs. Betty Lou Romaine, our June Teacher of the Month. Mrs. Romaine has taught Physical Education and Health classes at Pinellas Preparatory Academy since its inception and she is one of the most jovial teachers you will ever meet. Not only has Mrs. Romaine had a great impact over the years on the lives of her students but she also single handedly coordinated the creation and development of all of the PPA competitive athletic teams.

“Mrs. Romaine is a huge asset to our school,” Principal Curtis Fuller told us. “Her energy and optimism help to brighten the hallways every day. Not only has she developed, promoted, and grown the sports program at our school while still maintaining all of her normal responsibilities, but she also is the morale builder of our school, always encouraging staff and providing help.”

Here is what just a few of her students, their parents, and her colleagues had to say about their favorite coach and PE teacher:

“I really appreciate Mrs. Romaine’s sense of humor. She is so fun to work with and very supportive to teachers and kids!”

- Beth Crosa

“Mrs. Romaine is a huge asset at PPA. She’s usually singing and always has a smile on her face. The best thing about Mrs. Romaine is her positive attitude! She sees the best in every child and truly enjoys them.”

– Karen Jenkins

“Mrs. Romaine is the yellow brick road to the wonderful wizard of sports!”

- Jason Beath

“Mrs. Romaine is always singing a song the first thing every morning. You end up humming that song all day long! She so deserves Teacher of the Month.”

– Pam Biagini
