Kimberly Sabido was nominated by her principal, Jeffrey Daniel.
As a second-year teacher, Kimberly already goes above and beyond in everything she does. She is very meticulous in her lesson planning and delivery. She ensures that she is up to date with the latest pedagogy. But the main reason Kimberly is the Life Changer of the Year is because of her commitment to the school and the school community. For two winters now, Kimberly has put together a music video that includes the entire staff. The first year was Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas and this past December was Chuck Berry's Run, Run Rudolph. Both videos were amazing. The students, staff, and families all loved seeing the staff lip sync these songs. The videos were even showcased at our holiday performances. Kimberly's positive energy is infectious.
