Makayla Backen is our winner this week! 1st grade teacher at Anson Elementary
Nominated by Lexi, she wrote to us...
This is Makayla's first year as a teacher! She is very selfless and has already spent so much of her own money and personal time in making sure her classroom is perfect for when her students arrive in September! She is trying so hard to make her classroom not overstimulating and inviting to all of her students with different backgrounds in mind. Makayla would love the supplies and deserves this recognition to start her first year!
