Teacher Of The Week: Mr. Mike Pluges​

BAYPORT-BLUE POINT 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 Mr. Mike Pluges, a teacher at Bayport Blue Point High School. He was nominated as this week's Teacher of the Week by Kara Welling.

Here's what Welling had to say about Mr. Pluges:

He is a math teacher at Bayport Blue Point and always goes above and beyond for the kids. He’s been working with mine for several years now as a math tutor and whenever and whatever we need he’s always there to help them. Weekends, summers, SAT prep. He’s able to work with them and help them with math but more importantly he’s been a greAt mentor and friend to my kids and that is why we would like to have a shot out go out to him from the Welling kids (Peter, Katherine & Chris).

Congratulations to Mr. Pluges!
