CONGRATS Teacher of the Week:
Wendy Gregg, Alston Middle School
We’ve officially launched our Teacher of the Week program and this week we’re honoring Ms. Wendy Gregg from Alston Middle School, nominated by fellow teacher Ms. Claire Dixon.
Said Claire in her nomination, “Ms. Gregg works and gives tirelessly to her students. She is generous with her time and resources to provide positive experiences and incentives to students both in her classroom and to the school at large. She make Alston a positive place to work and learn!”
Last week’s winner, our very first Teacher of the Week recipient, is shown above, Ms. Nicole Register from Eagle Nest Elementary School. Nicole visited this week to select her free book and one of my personal favorites, The Library of Lost and Found. Excellent choice!
