Teacher Spotlight (Mr. McGuire, Art)
Student compliments are the best! Thank you for sharing Tristan!
I would like to nominate my really amazing art teacher and STLP advisor, Mr. Jim McGuire, for the teacher spotlight. He teaches my 7th grade VLA art class. He always sacrifices tons of time for his students and has been my favorite art teacher ever and he has made me a better artist overall. Because of his encouragement I have tried new creative art techniques. Also, in our STLP club, which is run by him, I have learned to do things that I didn't know I could accomplish because of him. I think he deserves some recognition for his hard work.
Meet Ms. Amanda Kilgore (Paraeducator)
Ms. Kilgore will be working with 2nd and 3rd grade teachers and students. We are so happy to have her join the VLA Family!
