Mrs.Durochia is super nice but she knows when to be serious. Also when you don't understand something she will go back over it for you and explain it more and if you still don't understand it she will pull you after you ate lunch and help you understand it. She also sometimes acts like a school conselour when you are going through a tough time. She will give advice to help you get through and she always has your back.

Mrs. Jones is like the leader of the school. She got the teacher of the year last year for Cumberland County schools. She's like a grandma to us all.

Mrs. Whisnant is the most AMAZING math teacher I have ever had. After having a math teacher last year who I couldn't understand, she makes everything make sense. She makes math seem easy and she's so funny in the process. Just a truly amazing teacher that deserves to be rewarded!!!!!!!

Katrenna S. Rich 12-30-11

Nominated By: Christina Williams

Grade/Subject: Prncipal
School Name: Howard Health and Life Sciences High School
School Address: 1608 Camden Rd, Fayetteville, NC 28306

This is actually a principal not a teacher. I still hope she gets considered. Dr.Rich has been my daughter's principal since she started high school in 2009 in 9th grade. She goes above and beyond her role as a principal, Dr. Rich cares, really cares for our children, not just their education. My daughter recently made a very, for lack of a better word, stupid choice while in school. She has never, ever been in trouble until this point, she is in 11th grade. Dr. Rich was not judgemental in the least. She could have signd dicipline papers, taken my child out of her school and let it be done; but she did not do that. Now my daugher was wrong and at fault 100% but because Dr. Rich takes the time to KNOW your child personally, she knew this was not my child's normal behavior. She pleaded her case for my daughter, to help her the best she could. Due to the principal's determination, concern and love for her students and their education,

My daughter's future education will not be compromised and she will be continuing her studies with Dr. Rich as her principal. I was truly moved by the care she showed my daughter and me, because she knew who we were and we were not just another student and parent. Please consider her for teacher of the week, she deserves it, she deserves principal of the year.

Nominated By: Danya Williams

School Name: Gray's Creek Middle School

Ms. Craig is a very warm and loving teacher. My son is autistic and she has not only made his transition to middle school smooth, she has made him proud of who he is and has validated him as a valuable member of the school. My son has went from failing school to earning almost all A's. When I pick my son up from school at 4:30, she is still there working with students and talking with her parents. She is always so excited to share with me the good things my sons do during the day. Ms. Craig is one of the best teachers I have ever encountered!! Love, love, love her and appreciate her love and passion for her students!!!

Mrs. Bean was my older sisters math teacher 2 years ago, and my math teacher last year in 6th grade, and my little sisters math teacher now. Mrs.Bean is a very sweet, and hard working teacher. She has overcame breast cancer, and came back to teaching, i mean you must really have to love teaching after coming back after fighting breast cancer. Mrs. Bean for me even though im AG I have a hard time understanding math and she never got frustrated with me when i asked a tousand questions. My younger sister is enjoying her year with mrs.bean now. She was always patient with kids, and never i mean never in my whole year of having her would i have classified her as mean or strict, and both my sisters agree strongly wth this stament. Mrs. Bean is a very funny teacher, who always had a smile on her face. She was my older sisters, and my FAVORITE teacher. Beth my younger sister has already classified her as er favorite teacher. Mrs. Bean is o ne of the few teachers i had that wouldnt fuss at me when i asked my bazillion of questions. I hate math, but mrs. Bean made me fall in love with that subject!

Oryan D. Lowry 12-2-11

Nominated By: Tashad Douglas

Grade/Subject: 9th Grade Earth Science
School Name: South Robeson High School
Rowland NC 28383

I believe he should be teacher of the week because to me he is a good teacher. The reason why he is a good teacher is because he makes my science class so fun. But he also let us know when it's time to get serious. That's when we start learning alot. Mr. Lowry is my best teacher hands down. Everyday is something new that we learn. From the beginning of Earth to the little creatures that crawl on it. That is why Mr. Lowry deserves the teacher of the week award.

Mrs. Jennifer Fredericks 11-25-11

Nominated By: Patricia Harwick

Grade/Subject: 2nd Grade
School Name: Overhills Elementary School
School Address: 2626 Ray Road, Spring Lake, NC 28390

When it comes to teachers, Mrs. Fredericks is the real deal! She is everything a good teacher should be and more. We were lucky enough to have Mrs Fredericks enter our family's life 2 years ago as my daughter, Hailey's teacher. Hailey had never really enjoyed school and was not the most eager attendee. In addition, Hailey's Dad was deployed at the beginning of the school year. I thought it was going to be a rough year, but thanks to Mrs. Fredericks' engaging teaching methods and caring attitude, Hailey had a great year and began to enjoy going to school. I truly credit Mrs. Fredericks for instilling a love of learning, and continued straight "A" report cards!

Mrs Davila 11-18-11

Nominated By: Keylee Palso

Grade/Subject: 4th grade
School Name: Long Hill Elementary
School Address: 6490 Ramsey Street Fayetteville. NC 28311

Mrs Davila was my teacher for 3rd and 4th grade, now in 7th grade I still remember how well she taught, how much she cared. She taught not only school lessons but, life lessons that I will not forget. I was challenged more in her class than I ever have been even now that I am even in middle school. Mrs Davila should be recognized for her remarkable way to make school fun and chalenging. She taught us all teh subjects she had to and how to be organized with our work. I wish I could have her as a teacher again.

Ms. Sues cares so much about her students. She loves history and not only breathes history in the classroom but breathes it in her personal life. I have personally witnessed her take pictures while out on a personal trip to use in her classroom when covering certain topics. She has taken time to get to know her students and truly cares about their wellbeing. She truly loves what she does and loves what she teaches everyday.

Mrs. Tamara Biggerstaff 10-21-11

Nominated By: Donna Deville
 

Grade/Subject: science/6th grade
School Name: Max Abbott Middle school

On September 2, 2011 this teacher who has known my son for 4 days of school saved his life. My son has life threatening food allergies and he ate something that he did not know contained nuts. She immediately saw him and properly responded making a very serious life threatening sitaution into a mild reaction for my son. I have thanked her several times and she has been extremely humble, but this is my sons life and I can never thank her enough. I have written a letter to her principal because I would like her good deed to be recognized. Thank you for the chance to nominate her.

Aisha Gilchrist 10-14-11

Nominated By: Jamie Brawer

Grade/Subject: KindergartenSchool Name: Upchurch Elementary School
Raeford, NC 28376

In just 4 short weeks, my son has absolutely fallen in love with Kindergarten. He comes home everyday singing songs and rhymes to help him remember to spell a word or how to write his numbers properly. As a former Hoke County teacher, I have never seen such love and passion from a teacher to her students. Ms. Gilchrist has constantly gone above and beyond to keep parents informed of upcoming events or school activities. She has called me from her personal cell phone to let me know how my son's day went. She is extremely passionate towards the students learning not only for Kindergarten but in their school years ahead. Whenever I see Ms. Gilchrist, she has a smile on her face~ and so do her students. Ms. Gilchrist's dedication towards her students, her school, and her community makes her a fantastic Q98 Teacher of the Week.
