South Whidbey Elementary School has a pair of well-appreciated teachers in Bruce and Kathy Callahan.

The pair won the South Whidbey Schools Foundation’s Mentorship Award. Nominations came from the class of 2014 seniors, who praised the Callahans.

“I had Mr. and Mrs. Callahan for my fourth and fifth-grade years. They taught me to discover so many things … my love for math… love for helping others,” wrote Chantal Brown, who graduated in June, in the foundation’s annual newsletter.
