Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

I had the pleasure of working for many years alongside Meghan. She assisted my students who needed a little extra help in first grade. Meghan's student, as well as the rest of my class formed a lasting connection with her. She was always helpful, funny, and warm. When it came time for her to bring a few students to her room for additional activities, everyone wanted to go!! Meghan now teaches at our district's middle school where she also is a phenomenal Drama director. She's an amazing mom and also a dance teacher at the Lillian Dean Dance Studio in Toms River.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

If your child has the pleasure of working with Meghan, as her literacy teacher or Drama instructor, consider them very fortunate. The skills she instills will make a difference in their lives.
