October 

 
Middle / High School Award
Vanessa McCulloch
English, Florence High School
(nominated by Hibbett Intermediate School, Social Studies students, Spring 2024)

 
“She has helped me improved my reading and vocabulary skills unbelievably high. She can relate to my life and my difficulties. She is the best teacher I have ever had. I love her and even though I had a rough year last year, she gave me a chance. She is beautiful, fluent, and very smart. She always wants the best for us, she rewards us for our tests and gives us stickers when it is our birthday. I love her so much. I respect her by doing things she asks of me, and that is the least I can do for all the things she has done for me and my classmates.“
 
“She helped me improve my writing and she has high expectations for her class. Although she is hard on us sometimes, she also helped us grow our wings.”
 
  
 
 
Elementary School Award
Brandon Alldredge
Special Education, Brooks Elementary
​
“In one summer Brandon changed our lives. He had our son in his summer program at a time when we had decided homeschooling was our only option. He unknowingly made us realize there are wonderful teachers out there and our son has a place in school even though he has special needs. Our son has flourished since having Brandon and is continuing on an upward trajectory. Brandon is a true blessing. He is incredibly talented, kind, and patient. He chose his career to make a difference and he has absolutely succeeded.”
 
“Mr. Alldredge's commitment to his students goes beyond the classroom as he continuously strives to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued and capable of success. His innovative teaching methods, personalized for each student's unique needs, have resulted in significant academic and personal growth among his students. Mr. Alldredge's positive rapport with students, parents, and colleagues reflects his professionalism, empathy, and genuine care for the well-being and progress of his students. His contributions to the field of special education and his outstanding impact on students' lives make him an exemplary choice for the Teacher of the Month award.”

Middle / High School Award
Tonitia Butler
Spanish, Central High School
 
“Ms. Butler goes above and beyond for her students. She might have been my Spanish teacher in school but she has become my cheerleader out of school. She truly cares about her students and supports their endeavors and accomplishments even after their graduation. Her attitude and outlook on life are contagious. I can't think of another teacher more deserving!”
 
“Every school needs a "mamma." That teacher that sets the tone of the school. She is an advisor. She is an advocate. She is a mentor. She is a prayer warrior. Tonitia Butler is the "mamma" at Central High School. Her presence just brings a calming effect and a reassuring feeling that everything is going to be ok. She has faced so much adversity in her lifetime, but her attitude and faith never waiver. Her example to her coworkers and students helps create the loving atmosphere at Central High School. Mrs. Butler - thanks for being our "mamma.”


   

  


Elementary Award
Kathy Smith
Kindergarten, St. Joseph Catholic School

  “She has a way of making every child feel special, important and loved and the children love her too.”
 
“As a parent of a student in her kindergarten class, I have witnessed firsthand the remarkable dedication and commitment she brings to her role every day. Mrs. Smith embodies the qualities of an exceptional educator, evident in the progress and achievements of her students. Beyond academics, she fosters a nurturing environment where each child feels valued and supported. One of Mrs. Smith's most admirable traits is her genuine love for the children in her care. She celebrates their successes with boundless enthusiasm, creating a sense of pride and accomplishment in each student. She is a pillar of strength during difficult times, providing comfort and support to children in moments of sorrow. Her passion, patience, and unwavering commitment to her students make her an invaluable asset to the SJS school community.“
 
“She is the best!”
