Lorraine Roettges
Teacher of the Year - 2010
Atlantic Beach Elementary
For the past two years, I have had the privilege of working alongside a wonderful human being who is incredibly talented and extremely concerned about our children's music education. She is an itinerant music educator in Duval County which means she splits her time between two schools. Her main school is Atlantic Beach Elementary but on Mondays, we are blessed to have her here at Chets Creek.
Lorraine is a classically trained musician that plays the flute and piccolo. She has performed with numerous ensembles throughout her career including the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, The Savannah Symphony, The Sarasota Opera Company, New York Gilbert and Sullivan and the Eastern Music Festival Orchestra. She is a strong advocate for arts education and founded "Project Listen" through the Riverside Fine Arts Association. Lorraine is married to Les Roettges, principal flutist of the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra.
I have grown to love Lorraine as a musician and friend. She is an inspiration to me and I am so glad her colleagues chose her for "Teacher of the Year" at ABE. This honor is a testimony to her dedication, her love of music and her willingness to share her passion with others.
Congratulations, Lorraine! I am proud to call you friend.
Until next time...
