Egg Harbor Township High School
Lori Butrus, is a special education teacher at Egg Harbor Township High School. She won teacher of the year last year for writing the curriculum for this extremely unique class.
Lori's special needs students were lacking motivation. So, she created The Eagle Greenery, a student run flower shop within the high school.

What Makes The Eagle Greenery So Different?
The Arts!
"The kid who's in the top of the class, who thinks
they can do everything, gets a little humbled
when they see that other kids can do things they can't.
And the kid who thinks they can't do anything,
all of a sudden, they're shining stars because
the teacher has found a thing they're good at,
and they can focus on that strength."
