Sandi Davis Selected as 2022 CMS Teacher of the Year
Congratulations to Mrs. Sandi Davis, our Speech Language Pathologist at Corner Middle School on being selected as the 2022 CMS Teacher of the Year! Mrs. Davis works with students at CMS and CHS, sponsors our school’s First Priority group, and serves as a mentor to teachers in our school, as well as student teachers who are working to enter the profession.
Colleagues who nominated Mrs. Davis said some of the following things as part of the nomination process:
- "Sandi is caring and goes above and beyond for each and every student. She strives to always do what is best for the students. I cannot think of anyone who embodies teacher of the year more than Sandi."
- "She is always very professional and knowledgeable and does a great job working with her students."
- "Sandy is an excellent example of a dedicated teacher. She puts her students first, and works hard to accommodate their needs. I feel that she is deserving of the recognition of Teacher of the Year."
- Mrs. Davis works very hard to meet the needs of the kids she serves. She helps students who come through CMS and continues helping them when they move to CHS. She mentors others and is always available to help!"
We are so blessed that she is a part of our school family! Thank you, Mrs. Davis, for all that you do for the students, faculty, and staff at Corner Middle School!
