Doreen Sosa, a recently retired Center Street School teacher, had no idea she was receiving the Trailblazer Award for Career Achiever for 2011 when she was invited to City Hall on Tuesday night, May 3. Her work included developing first- and second-grade “looping” teaching programs, as well as choral reading programs that showed how singing could help youngsters read better. Despite her retirement, she still substitute teaches at the school she loves. Students who came to see their former teacher honored are, from left, Nate Kuhlmann (Grade 3), Lennon Gelbsmann (Grade 4) and Emily Kuhlmann (Grade 6). Presented annually by the Oneonta Commission on Community Relations & Human Rights, the Trailblazer recognizes women who demonstrate outstanding achievement, enhancing the visibility and stature of women.
