TEACHER OF THE YEAR

Rebecca Griffin           

“I have always applied the following saying as my guiding force as a teacher: Children may not remember what you taught them, but they will remember how you made them feel. When I began teaching only three short years ago, I reflected on my past as a student and the traits of teachers that most inspired me growing up. I fondly remember those teachers that had respect for their students, were great listeners and storytellers, and those that had an enthusiasm for teaching. I believe that as a teacher, it is a privilege to be able to touch the lives of so many young minds and hearts. I strive to be a teacher that inspires students not just through the teaching of reading and math – but by encouraging each student to develop the skills and traits that make them unique and special.”
