Chaundrea Allen was nominated by her husband, Kevin Allen.
"Mrs. Allen goes over and beyond for her students. She's very involved in her student's education as well as engagement. For the last three years, she's gone over and beyond for the students at her school. She does a lot of outside-of-school events for her students. Monthly, she has family engagement activities for parents and students," said Kevin.
"To name a few, she does paint and play parties for the students, meet and greets, carnival-themed events, ice cream socials, a spring picnic on the lawn, and a virtual Disney World trip at the end of the school year. Mrs. Allen serves as a teacher and the campus liaison for a CHIPP program through her sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. This program provides students with nutritious meals for the weekends. Each Friday, Mrs. Allen provides students with a backpack or food and snacks to ensure they have food throughout the weekend," said Kevin.
"Recently, Mrs. Allen was awarded Teacher of the Month for September 2023. For the 2022-2023 school year, Mrs. Allen was awarded Teacher of the Year in November and March. Mrs. Allen is a teacher who gives her all every day. You wouldn't want to leave if you entered Mrs. Allen's class. She's very engaged and hands-on with her students. Mrs. Allen's parents love her," said Kevin.
"I would love to nominate Mrs. Allen for the LifeChanger of the Year award as she is being very impactful and setting a great foundation for her students daily," said Kevin.
