On Thursday, May 13 Baltimore City Public Schools CEO Andres Alonzo visited Maree G. Farring Elementary/Middle School to inform third grade teacher Brian Rainville that he had been named Baltimore's Teacher of the Year. This is Mr. Rainville's fifth year of teaching and all of his experience has been at the Brooklyn school.     

In 2007 Miss Leah Waller, the first grade teacher from Maree G. Farring E/M, was given the same honor.

The Brooklyn Branch Library staff wishes to extend sincere congratulations to Mr. Rainville and wish him continued success in his teaching career.
