3 Adair teachers receive CU Excellence in Teaching awards Superintendent Darrell Treece accompanies Jeannette Aaron, JoAnn Montgomery, and Brent Campbell to ceremonies in Winters Dining Center on May 12, 2007. By Linda Waggener, assistant director of CU communications, with Shoko Unesaki and Kerri Nottingham, student news writers CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. 150 educators from across Kentucky received awards from Campbellsville University in partnership with Lexington's CBS-affiliate WKYT-TV at the 21st annual Excellence in Teaching Awards Program Saturday, May 12, 2007, in the Winters Dining Hall in the E.
