All of our Distinguished Reading Teachers encourage the love of reading as a lifelong habit and are continually promoting literacy among their students. Their classrooms are literacy-rich environments where students are immersed in reading and writing every day. They are wonderful examples of Distinguished Reading Teachers and are outstanding representatives for their schools and the district. These teachers were recognized at the December Board Meeting.
