PLC WEEK 2
Celebrating Kate and Madison!
Kate was spotlighted by the Education Foundation because she knows that if you want to be a great educator, she must connect with her students and reach them on multiple levels, because she knows the best teachers are committed to their students’ well-being both inside and outside the classroom. She knows that by forging strong relationships she is able to affect virtually every aspect of her students’ lives, teaching them the important life lessons that will help them succeed beyond school work or standardized test. Thank you Kate, we are blessed to have you part of the Hackberry family!
