Teacher Appreciation — We Love Our Teachers!
To celebrate and acknowledge all the hard work and dedication teachers pour into our students both in and out of the classroom, we held a special giveaway just for them during Teacher Appreciation Week in May of 2020.
To be entered into the giveaway, a teacher needed to be nominated in the comments on this page. All nominations included details on who the teacher was, what school they represented and what grade or subject they teach.

I nominate my teaching partner, Anna Krob. She teaches math and science. The kids love her. She comes up with fun and exciting lessons for the students, such as glow day Harry Potter themed videos, etc.
I would like to nominate Beth Chappelear at Heritage Middle School. Beth not only teaches our STEM class, but she heads the News team that has been bringing us news updates throughout this pandemic; she is tech support to students, teachers, and parents alike who have struggled with school going entirely online; she has also sent useful links and tech tips to help teachers and administrators find new ways to capture student’s attention; she has created a site where the school can go to find resources and collaborate with each other; most of all, Beth has been willing to do anything to help our school transition and be successful during this time. She loves our students and she loves our school. If you would ask anyone at our school who the MVP of this year would be, 80% would say Beth Chappelear!!
I would like to nominate Jordan Ross at Stuart Elementary in Shelley Idaho. Mr. Ross brings fun and excitement to our students as they learn about physical science. Mr. Ross is loved by his students and wants to make learning enjoyable for his students.

I would like to nominate Beth Chappelear, our robotics teacher at Heritage Middle School. She is an outstanding teacher to her students and teachers. She has gone above and beyond to help our school with our technology issues during Distant Learning. She works countless hours everyday to help all of us.
Mrs. Tammy Hedgepeth, our media and digital literacy leader works tirelessly to ensure all of our students have access to books, computers, anything to help them achieve success. Our school is high poverty and has flooded twice, but there are no roadblocks to success and time on task for all our great scholars to dream big!
