November Teacher of the Month

Congratulations to Mrs. Tergerson! She has been nominated and received Teacher of the Month for November.  Mrs. Tergerson has been at Lorena Middle School for 13 years. She teaches Advanced 6th grade ELA and Reading, and Advanced 7th and 8th grade ELAR. Mrs. Tergerson also teaches 5th and 6th grade Art. 

Below is the nomination letter Mrs. Tergerson received:

There are many outstanding teachers who deserve Lorena Middle School's Teacher of the Month Award.  I am compelled to submit a nomination for this award for Mrs. Tergerson.  Her obvious dedication to enriching the quality of her students' lives through her progressive approach to teaching deserves to be recognized and celebrated.

The diversity of the projects Mrs. Tergerson assigns gives students the opportunity to not only learn Reading and English, but also many additional invaluable life skills that can be used throughout a lifetime in a variety of situations.  A few of these skills include group dynamics, team building, multitasking , scheduling/time management, critical thinking, and problem solving.

It is evident Mrs. Tergerson recognizes more knowledge in these area is essential in our society.  She is truly gifted as a teacher to be willing to flesh out her curriculum's material to find ways to provide these students the opportunity to gain this additional knowledge.

It is apparent Mrs. Tergerson truly cares about the well being of her students' lives now and in the future, while in her classroom and beyond, which sets her and other teachers like her apart.  Thank you so much for considering Mrs. Tergerson for this award.  I am and will forever be grateful my daughter will benefit from being taught by her, one of our greatest teachers.

Congratulations Mrs. Tergerson!
