Harvey Teacher Wins Golden Apple Award
Harvey native, Roosevelt Griffin, has been selected as one of ten recipients to receive the 2014 Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching. Griffin currently teaches at Gwendolyn Brooks Middle School, 14741 Wallace St., Harvey, Il, where he was once a student. “To win was very overwhelming, very emotional, because at that point I was able to reflect on what the actual Golden Apple meant to me as Roosevelt Griffin but also to me being a kid growing up in Harvey, born in Harvey, and what it meant to all of those kids growing up in Harvey,” said Griffin.
