They are often called “the Oscars of Teaching” – a special cash award and recognition for a job well done in Vinton today. A $25,000 surprise today for a 4th grade teacher at W.E. Cundiff Elementary in Vinton. The Milken Foundation presented Lindsay Murray with the award at a morning assembly. The foundation works with state departments of education to find worthy recipients. Murray has taught at Cundiff for seven years and was the only teacher in Virginia to receive one of this year’s Milken Foundation awards.
