Music that Describes Deanna
Deanna Carpenter was nominated by her colleague, Cindy Wolfe.
Ms. Carpenter is a first grade teacher and a mother of two children. She's very active in her school and community. Her two children are both severe diabetics, so her responsibility as a mother has been greater than some, but she manages to reach out to others in need. She orchestrates and serves on committees, and her family has even coached midget league sports while fulfilling her duties as teacher. She spearheads the Earth Day activities at her school, as well as fundraisers for St. Jude and other nonprofit projects.
I have know Deanna Carpenter for several years know. I am amazed how she always has a positive attitude and has an abundance of energy and patience for her kiddos. Additionally,, she makes every day count with her first graders, and they know she is there for them. Life can be challenging at times; however, she remains steadfast and committed to her calling.

Deanna is such an amazing teacher and person. She keeps her students at the center of everything she does in the classroom. She is kind and gentle with all her students. She also is encouraging as she works so hard at home and in our community!
Deanna is an excellent teacher who has been instrumental in so many children learning to read and loving to learn. She has patience with all of her students yet pushes each one to do their personal best. Deanna is caring and kind. She’s a pleasure to work with - very supportive yet outspoken to ensure her students get the best services. Deanna is definitely a life changer.
Deanna has been an colleague and a best friend of mine for the past 13 years. When I first began teaching first grade, she taught me so many things about teaching. If I ever need anything, I go straight to her because she can always point me in the right direction with her professionalism. She has always been someone that I look up to and admire. She has faced many obstacles in her life and still remains a positive person. With both of her children being diabetic and many sleepless nights, she still arrives at work daily to inspire students and her co-workers. She has a love and spark for teaching that is rare. She treats all children with love and respect as she would her own. Deanna deserves to receive this award mainly because she does not perform these amazing acts of love for any kind of attention, she has a pure heart of gold and is a sweet sweet woman!

Deanna does seem to be able to do it all with kindness and patience. We have teased her that she is our Mary Poppins, "Practically perfect in every way!" I admire Deanna for her teaching abilities and as a person. She sees teaching as not just a job but a passion. Deanna really looks out for the best interest of all of her students. She is a loving teacher, parent, wife, grandma, and friend. Deanna definitely deserves the nomination for life changer of the year.
I’ve had the privilege of working with Deanna for the past 6 years and have watched her tirelessly encourage her students to be the best they can be, she is their teacher,friend,cheerleader, motivator, mentor, moral checker, corrector, guider, leader and most importantly, shares her heart with them. It’s been an honor to watch her lead and those kids into their future knowing she’s equipped them with the self confidence and determination to be world changers. It’s starts when they’re little.??
This is our first year having Mrs Carpenter as a teacher. She is so caring and committed to the kiddos. What an honor to have my daughters teacher nominated for such an honorable award! She is the best!!
Deanna is so deserving of this award. She is an amazing teacher and cares so much for her students and her colleagues. She is an amazing person all the way around always wanting to be of help to someone. So blessed to call her friend.
Deanna is very deserving and a great candidate to receive this award. She is the perfect role model to her students and to all she is around. She is a very kind and compassionate leader who cares a lot about others. I am lucky and get to have Deanna as a mother where I can see at home all of the work she truly puts into what she does. The love she shares for her students doesn’t just end at her classroom door as it is carried with her at home and wherever she goes.
You have definitely inspired Olivia, even more, to be a teacher. When she saw your classroom was ocean themed, she wanted to plan out her theme for her future classroom! Thank you for being a big part of Olivia' s life!!
I had the privilege to work with Deanna for 4 years! She has to be one of the most honest, hard working, compassionate and professional teachers I know. She goes above and beyond to make sure her students not only learn but know they are loved. Deanna is an amazing woman!
Deanna is a wonderful teacher and colleague. I love teaching first grade with her! I have learned so much from her over the years. Her knowledge and passion inspires me to be a better teacher. I also know what a great job she does from a parent perspective. My son loved her as his first grade teacher! Congratulations Deanna!
Mrs. Carpenter is a loving, kindhearted person and a dedicated, hardworking teacher. My daughter had her for first grade, and Mrs. Carpenter encouraged, challenged, and helped her reach her full potential academically all while feeling loved. Mrs. Carpenter had my daughter during the spring of the Coronavirus, and she was constantly reaching out and checking on our daughter.
Mrs Carpenter was my daughters teacher and girl scout leader. I loved sitting back watching her with the kids she loved with her whole heart and the kids loved her as well. Definitely deserves this award!
Deanna has demonstrated so much strength as a wife, mother, daughter and teacher. I have worked with her for many years and have always admired her strength in the many difficult situations she has been through.. She demonstrates a passion for teaching and serving her students' individual needs. She has maintained her calm and patient spirit even when dealing with very difficult situations with students over her teaching career. She goes above and beyond her teaching duties and has served in many ways professionally and in her community. She is a wonderful teacher who would be very deserving of this honor. She is one of the BEST!!!
We love Mrs. Carpenter! She's so kind, supportive, and patient with the kiddos. My daughter has medical issues and she went above and beyond to have a full understanding of my girls needs. We love and appreciate you Mrs. Carpenter ?
What an amazing award for an even more amazing person and teacher! Addaville is so lucky to have such kind, caring and compassionate teacher in Mrs. Carpenter, and our children are equally as blessed to get to learn from her. I could not be more proud of her for this nomination. She makes teaching look easy and has had an incredible and lasting impact on countless lives. Congratulations, and good luck!
Deanna is one of those exceptional colleagues who I have always enjoyed working with. Deanna goes beyond what is expected to do the job. As a teacher, she does what she would hope others would do for her children or grandchildren. As a friend you can rely on Deanna to be there for help in time of need, and as a good listener, for when times get rough. She will provide advice or even honest, positive criticism if that's what the situation warrants. She will step up to be a leader of projects when no one else will. But Deanna is not the kind of person who expects to be recognized. In fact, she is once who would rather not be in the spotlight. However, it is time for Deanna to be thrown in the spotlight. Help me in recognizing Deanna for the many years of caring and thoughtful service she has given those of us who work with her, and those students and families she has shared herself with.
You are so deserving of this award. We just moved into the district and it was Xzavier's first day at Addaville. We both were so nervous as to how well he will adjust to the new school year and new school. You were is first teacher. Not only did you make us feel welcomed but you made my son love school again. You helped him build his confidence and gave him an opportunity to show you who he really is deep down. I cant thank you enough. Your love and support changed my child's life.
Deanna has dedicated her life to the children she teaches and is rewarded by knowing she is making a difference in their life!
Very well deserved Deanna. Her smile is genuine, and can be felt by those she greets. She’s compassionate and caring inside and out of the classroom. Congratulations!
Deanna is an individual who goes above and beyond for anyone in a time of need. She is selfless and kind-hearted. If she senses that someone is in the position of needing a helping hand, she does not hesitate to reach out and do all that she can to help. She is a delight, loving, and intelligent woman.
Mrs. Carpenter is such a warm, caring and loving teacher. She creates a wonderful safe learning environment for all her students. She is great at keeping kids engaged with hands on projects!
Mrs. Carpenter was my child’s 1st grade teacher and what a Godsend she was! He struggled his entire kindergarten year with anxiety to the point of throwing up every morning! That all changed when he got in her class the next year! She taught him well but also made him feel loved and protected! I will always feel grateful! She truly loves the kids and teachers like her are rare!!
I have worked with Deanna Carpenter for over 20 years, and I can’t think of anyone else who deserves this. She is a dedicated, talented, and humble teacher who puts her whole heart into teaching children. I’m so proud to call her a friend and colleague. Congratulations!!??
When my daughter started a new school, Mrs Carpenter was her first grade teacher. Mrs Carpenter is a wonderful teacher, coworker and friend. She has a love and patience for children that is unmatched.
She is a wonderful person, and is very passionate about teaching. She is very kind spirited and a great teacher.
