WEST KAYSVILLE — DaNae Leu recently received the Para-educator of the Year Award at the Utah Educational Library Media Association conference. She has been the librarian at Snow Horse Elementary for three years.

Leu was nominated for the award by several faculty members who see the enthusiasm she has for her work.

“I have the best job in the world. I get to wake up every morning and spend my day in a roomful of books,” reported Leu.

The UELMA conference is a statewide meeting held each year in Orem. A unique twist: Leu received a quilt instead of a certificate or trophy.
