Jan Quoted

“What I really like to see is the ways in which people can take things that are very commonplace to us in schools and make them new and different and exciting.”

“You discover schools that you've never heard of or didn't know about, some ways of doing things and communicating messages that you might not have thought about before.”

“This is a big [judging] panel — a lot of really great judges. I look at their bios and what they've done, and go, wow, this person is taking time out of their busy schedule to be a part of this!”
