As part of National Teacher Appreciation month in May, Ivar’s Seafood Restaurants named Ann Swain, a third-grade teacher at Bothell’s Woodin Elementary, their eighth annual teacher of the year. Ivar’s team members reviewed hundreds of nominations from kindergarten through eighth-grade students singing the praises of their favorite teachers.

On Monday, Swain was presented with a $500 giant check good for a gift certificate for school supplies and a commemorative plaque. The Woodin students received a visit from Ivar’s Dancing Clam and a chowder party.
