Mrs. Aimee Evans, Veteran Special Education teacher, recently was selected as the Teacher of the Month after teaching for over 30 years. Mrs. Evans started out in early childhood education,and now she is in her sixth year of teaching at MV.

“I was nominated by a student, Savana Collins, and she spearheaded this with all of my English classes one day when I was not at school,” stated Mrs Aimee Evans

Superintendent Mrs. Melanie Andrews visited Mrs. Evans in late November during one of her classes to reveal the good news. 

“ I thought she was doing an observation/evaluation of me, so I was scrambling to get the students quiet and on task,”  Mrs. Evans stated.

“I was shocked!  I cried!  My heart was full and I was so thankful for these special students I have in my life!  As Mrs. Andrews was presenting my certificate, my class stood up and clapped for me,” added Mrs. Evans

The Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce holds a competition to recognize teachers in Jefferson County to feel appreciated. The competition begins a few weeks before the new month and as teachers get nominated, students should vote for their favorite teacher on the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce. 

Mrs. Evan stated “ I try to be a positive role model for all of my classes, I mostly come into the classroom with a smile, and an overall greeting and I try to greet each student individually as well.”

“ I think it’s a great idea to share a smile with students, and  give out a compliment or two if needed,” added Mrs. Evans

During her time at MV Mrs. Evans has made a huge impact on her students 

“I’m thrilled beyond belief to realize that I am making a difference, One Ram at a Time! Truly, this is my driving force to make an impact on students’ lives!” stated Mrs. Evans
