Principal's Message November 4, 2016
|
|
On Thursday, October 27th, I had the pleasure of sharing with the Four Peaks Rotary Club just some of the reasons why I nominated Mrs. Ivy Violette as the Rotary Club's Teacher of the Month:
Ivy Violette is a gifted teacher - literally. She teaches the honors level fourth graders at Four Peaks Elementary School and has found her slice of heaven right here on our school campus. Her teaching style and her ten years of teaching experience here in Fountain Hills and another eight more in Connecticut, helps her to bring out the most in the talents and strengths of her twenty-six students. Mrs. Violette teaches the students skills that play to each student's skill set, finding ways to make every subject area interesting to nine year olds.
Mrs. Violette has been well known in the Fountain Hills Community teaching younger grades, even first grade, at McDowell Mountain Elementary. Parents have known for years that Mrs. Violette is exceptional in her field. She's a hard worker. She's organized. She's intuitive and kind. Most importantly, and to her credit, she's always one step ahead of both the unique academic questions posed by her students and the challenges posed by them as well. She knows the habits and mind set of the age group she serves because she's an experienced teacher AND she's an experienced mom with boys of her own. Mrs. Violette exemplifies what it means to be a quality teacher. We are lucky, lucky, lucky to have her on our staff!
