Emily Orologio has only just finished her first year teaching, but her hard work and talent might earn $10,000 for Frick Middle School in East Oakland.
Orologio is a seventh-grade science teacher at Frick, and one of five Bay Area teachers nominated for Comcast’s 2009 All-Star Teacher Award. You can watch a video of this star rookie and vote for the winning teacher here.
Members of the public can vote – once! – through July 8.

Thank you for posting this information about an outstanding young Oakland teacher. I hope everyone connected with OUSD will take the time to vote for Emily.
I found the voting instructions a bit confusing. The link you have posted looks like a ballot and asks for a user name and password, but the thing to do is scroll down to the bottom where it says “Need to create a user account” and in red “Click Here.” Clicking here brings you to a page where you can establish an account and vote all at once.
