Congrats to Hope Howard of Banks Road Elementary in Raleigh, the QDR Gold Star Teacher of the month for July!

Hope was nominated by Monica. Monica shared:

Mrs. Howard is an incredible teacher. My children and I were going to move at the end of the 2016-2017 school year but when I found out that my daughter got Mrs. Howard for 5th grade, I put the move off. She taught my son last year and I have never seen a teacher care so much for the growth of her students. She doesn’t only teach by the book, she also teaches valuable life skills. She is kind, loving to the kids, thoughtful and passionate in her job. She makes it a point to treat everyone she encounters with respect and kindness. I couldn’t think of a better teacher.

We presented Hope with a trophy from Creative Images and a $100 gift card from Crabtree Valley Mall! Thank YOU for all you do Hope!
