🎉 Congratulations to Our December Teacher of the Month! 🎉
We are proud to recognize Ms. Wertz! She is someone who truly goes above and beyond the role of a “teacher.” She leads with compassion and a heart that is always focused on what’s best for kids.
Whether it’s supporting students academically, encouraging them emotionally, or stepping in wherever help is needed, Ms. Wertz makes a difference. Her kindness, patience, and genuine care do not go unnoticed—and our students are better because of it. Congratulations to Ms. Wertz!
