Teacher of the Year for 2013-2014 


On behalf of the Chestnut Oaks Middle School Family, I would like to thank you for your recommendation and beseech you for your support as I endeavor to be the best teacher I can be. I consider it an honor to be chosen teacher of the year for the upcoming 2013-2014 school year.  

My greatest challenge is to create inspiring and creative ways to teach my students. I have no greater desire than to teach. I think teaching is the most important career of all professions. Through teaching we reach all students. What other career can boast of such great a contribution as teaching?
