Jessica Danford was nominated anonymously.

Ms. Danford is passionate about teaching children as a whole. Yes, she teaches academics; but, she also strives to teach the students about how to interact with others, be a good communicator, and how to be a healthy individual. Ms. Danford likes to have a calm, peaceful, and structured classroom environment where everyone can learn. For her classroom, she is in need of bins and shelves to help keep things organized and put away. Ms. Danford also wants to promote healthy habits for her students, so she is in need of a mini fridge to store healthy snacks. She is now in a new grade and in need of academic games and activities for her first grade class. Ms. Danford would also like to keep extra supplies on hand so every student can have the supplies they need.

Ms. Danford is such a dedicated, passionate, and caring teacher. Being a new teacher, it was very nerve wracking and I wasn’t truly sure what to expect. With Ms. Danford being the team lead, she relieved so many worries and was extremely helpful and willing to assist in any way. She is also one of the most organized people I have ever met, and this is because of the time she puts in, in and out of work. She truly is the best!!!!
