Music that Describes Michelle
Michelle Murphy was nominated by a family member, Mila Gabrielle Hisako Murphy.
"I chose Michelle Murphy because she is kind to all students and tries her best to help them when she can. I hope that Mrs. Murphy is recognized for her work in the best way possible," said Mila Gabrielle Hisako.
When a student is having trouble with their work, Mrs. Murphy is always there to help them. If another student is feeling down or unsure, Mrs. Murphy will always be there to comfort them. She has had a lot of students back her up and show her kindness, in return. Aside from being a teacher, she is a wonderful mother who has taught her children to be strong advocates for themselves and others.
