🎉 Congratulations to Ms. Jessica Mooney, 2nd grade teacher at Madison Simis Elementary School, on being named a 12 News A+ Teacher!
Ms. Mooney was nominated by Abra, the parent of one of Ms. Mooney’s former students. “I felt like in his year with you, he grew so much as a person, and that’s what any parent hopes happens with their kid. You helped him find his voice, and helped him learn how to advocate for himself, and be more accepted, and I’m forever grateful for that,” she shared.
Thanks so much to Trisha Hendricks and 12 News for recognizing and celebrating the amazing work our teachers do for their students!
