Our October #TeacherProud Tuesday recognitions are Jessica Buchheit and Melody Newbrough! 💚🤍🏴☠️
Ms. Buchheit is a kindergarten teacher at Perryville Primary Center. Her nominator said: "My daughter loves her. She raves about how her teacher is kind and all the things she learns, and she says she makes her feel like she is part of her family. My child is more safety aware, as well as becoming more independent and taking on more responsibility at home, which is due to the fact she has a job at school."
Ms. Newbrough is an ELA teacher at Perryville High School. Her nominator said: "Melody goes out of her way to not only help students with their work, but also to make them feel safe and cared for. She makes learning fun and is always willing to try new things, which keeps students engaged and ready for class. She is a positive role model of the characteristics we cherish in our small town: friendly, welcoming, honest, outgoing, and kind. She is always willing to help others, and she goes the extra mile to help the children in our community. ”
We announce Teacher Proud Tuesday on the second Tuesday every month during the school year. Fill out the form linked below to nominate a teacher for a future recognition.
