    Temple Netten (Waukee Elementary School)

    “Mrs. Netten is both an amazing teacher and wonderful person inside and out. She makes learning fun and is very creative with her classroom. She has been the reason that our daughter loves school this year. She has a gentle way of dealing with sensitive subjects and yet expects her students to begin to take more responsibility for their learning and homework. Waukee Elementary is so fortunate to have an amazing teacher to teach, influence and love on our kids each week.”

    Chad Vollmecke (Waukee High School)

    “This teacher takes the extra mile every day for his students and players. He is an encourager and is a very big positive roll model for them. He will take calls no matter the time of evening, to talk to a parent or student if there is ever a need. He puts together a panel as part of his senior english class with special needs students and their parents/care givers. The students are then directed to ask questions to the panel. It truly has changed so many lives of kids to understand people who are different and to really apply what they are asking and learning about.”
