Teacher Of The Week: Mrs. Jeninne Shay

WEST BABYLON, NY - Everybody has a favorite teacher — maybe it's a teacher who went out of their way to make one student's day or a teacher who brightens up a classroom every day.

One teacher who deserves a shout-out is Mrs. Jeninne Shay, a teacher at JFK Elementary School in West Babylon. She was nominated as this week's Teacher of the Week by Lisa La Macchia.

Here's what La Macchia had to say about Mrs. Shay:

Mrs. Shay is loving, nurturing, and builds confidence in her students. She is just as accessible to the parents as she is to her students. As my daughter is my first school aged child, I have so many questions. Mrs. Shay is always available to talk through any comments or concerns I have.

Congratulations to Mrs. Shay!
