JANUARY RECIPIENT:
Kim Hurley – 2nd Grade Teacher – Franklin Elementary School
NOMINATED BY:
Toshia Arends (co-worker)
TOSHIA’S LETTER:
I am a para at this school and I see this teacher, as well as all of the staff at this school, go above and beyond every day for the students. She definitely has her hands full with 2nd graders as attention spans are short, they talk constantly and out of turn and they like to see how much pressure a pencil can take before it breaks (among destroying other supplies she is constantly replacing). She is a very, calm, sweet, loving and caring woman with the patience of an angle for sure. And I believe she just deserves a little thank you.
