February’s Edge Guys Heating and Cooling Teacher of the Month was McKenzie Leckrone, a fourth-grade teacher at Noble Crossing Elementary. Her student, Finn Sallmen, nominated her. As a reward, Sallmen won a pizza party for his classroom, courtesy of Papa John’s, and Leckrone won a $50 Visa gift card from Edge Guys, Current’s Teacher of the Month sponsor.
Here is Sallmen’s winning essay:
Mrs. Leckrone is really cool, and she is the best teacher in the whole entire world. She helped me in reading so much. I didn’t know English when I first came to the United States from Ukraine, and Mrs. Leckrone has really helped me learn to read and write, and other things too. I have done so much better in reading, thanks to her. She is amazing and really helps me, and I am thankful for Mrs. Leckrone because even if I give her a headache, she still cares about me, and she can really understand kids like me, so I think that she should get the award. She is a good person and believes in me, and it has been really good to have her for the past two years in third and fourth grade.
Students in grades K-12 are invited to enter Current’s April Teacher of the Month contest. Participants should send a 100-word essay explaining why their teacher should be named Teacher of the Month.
