Congratulations to Greenville Elementary's Teacher of the Year: Peggy Jo Porter
Congratulations to Peggy Jo Porter, who has been named Greenville Elementary’s 2017-2018 Teacher of the Year. Porter has taught first grade for 29 years and has loved all of the experiences and friendships it has brought her.
Porter is known throughout the school and in the community as an educator who goes the extra mile. “Over the years, Mrs. Porter has provided shoes and socks for students who need them. She has paid lunch accounts when families were unable to. She has provided school supplies for students who went without,” explained Greenville Elementary Principal, Dee Ashcroft. “She fills many other needs that her students have. Helping just comes naturally to her.”
Past and present students attest that Porter’s classroom is a place where foundational self-esteem can be built. This is evident in the encouraging remarks that Porter showers upon her young students, as well as in the “great day” stickers she sends home to parents with positive notes about their child’s day.
Thank you, Mrs. Porter, for your tremendous efforts in educating students in the Cache County School District.
Mrs. Porter was recognized at the November 12th Board Meeting.
