The list of honors and awards earned by her students is almost as long as the list of Ms. Taylor's exhibitions of her personal art work. She was the recipient of a fellowship from the Council for Basic Education which enabled her to travel to Korea and study. She used her knowledge to share the rich Korean culture with her students and many other groups.

As a teacher for the School District of Philadelphia Emilee Taylor has earned the respect and admiration of her peers. She presently administers the Mentally Gifted Fine Arts program at Joseph J. Greenburg Public School. As she shares her own gifts with her students Emilee has gone beyond the walls of her school to enhance her students' education.

PAEA is privileged to have such an exemplary member of the art teaching profession as a member. She has shared her expertise with fellow members at PAEA conferences and has attended national conventions of NAEA. It is our pleasure to award Emilee Taylor as Outstanding Elementary Art Educator for the year 2000.
