Teacher of the Week

If you've missed how awesome these people are, we have compiled the most recent award recipients and the reasons they were nominated in the first place.

Melinda was nominated by Kelsey Spano

The way this teacher goes above and beyond with passion caring for her kids is what really put her over the top!

Sabrina was nominated by Johnette Abercrombie, who had the honor of seeing this amazing teacher's work through her 2nd grader Karsyn.

Now that classes are being tentatively planned for the near future, and distance learning entering the picture as well - we're asking more from these teachers than ever.

Jerimy is most impressed by Coach Johnson's tough-love approach and his focus on helping others focus on success!

Leslie was nominated by former student, Toby Buchan - who has seen Mrs. Mauthe's kindness and dedication first hand.

Erika was nominated by her best friend, Nicole Nelson - who has seen Mrs. Fletcher over and beyond her job description a thousand times over.

Angie was nominated by her former student, Carrie McDonald - who explained that Mrs. Leal is a teacher's teacher - literally!

She obviously loves her job and the world is a better place for it.

Judging from the letter Shaquavia wrote, it's easy to see why she thinks so highly of the woman who taught her and her daughter!

To love kids so much that you sacrifice time, money, and (let's be honest) a little sanity because you believe their education is that important pushes you a little closer to sainthood in my humble opinion.
