2025-2026 Teacher of the Year

Words from Springfield's Teacher of the Year

Being named Teacher of the Year at Springfield Elementary is such an incredible honor. I have been teaching for 25 years, and the last five of those have been right here at Springfield, where I’ve had the joy of teaching kindergarten, second grade, and fourth grade. I truly love being a teacher and spending my days with the coolest kids around! My biggest hope is that every student who walks into my classroom knows they are somebody special and that there is no one better to be than themselves. Teaching is what I was made to do, and I feel so blessed to be part of the Springfield Elementary family.
