Oklahoma teacher attends State of Union speech
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - An early childhood education teacher in Oklahoma City was one of two dozen guests the White House invited to sit with the first lady during President Barack Obama's State of the Union address.
Susan Bumgarner joined Michelle Obama and other guests.
The Oklahoma City school district says in a news release that Bumgarner has written curriculum, trained Head Start teachers, taught infants and toddlers and prepared parents with readiness classes.
Other invited guests included Kaitlin Roig of Greenwich, Conn., a first-grade teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that was the scene of a mass shooting in December that killed 20 children and six adults.
