December Teacher of the Month

Our December Teacher of the Month is not the traditional "teacher."  Mrs. Thompson, has been nominated and selected as Lorena Middle School's December Teacher of the Month.  Mrs. Thompson is the school counselor at Lorena Middle School.  This is her 2nd year in the role of counselor.  Mrs. Thompson has been in Lorena ISD for 15 years.  Before becoming a counselor, Mrs. Thompson taught Family and Consumer Sciences at Lorena High School. 

Below is a portion of the nomination letter Mrs. Thompson received:

I know Mrs. Thompson is not a teacher, but she deserves to be recognized for all she does.  The counselor, Mrs. Thompson, is great!  She is always there for us and really cares about us.  Sometimes when you just need someone to talk to, she will listen to you.  Mrs. Thompson doesn't care if you're pretty or if you're popular, she likes you just the same.  Sometimes she is busy but she lets you put your name down and calls you later in the day.  Mrs. Thompson deserves to be something of the month because she is awesome for everyone.

                                                Congratulations Mrs. Thomspon!!
