Congrats to Ms. Abby Smith of Alston Ridge Elementary, our Gold Star Teacher of the Month for September! 

Abby was nominated by Elizabeth Olsson who said:

Abby has only taught for 2.5 years but you would never know it. She is kind, fair, funny, energetic, and smart! She has the “teacher voice” that EVERY child responds well to. She treats every child fair and with love. She is so respected by her 4th graders because she sets high standards for everyone no matter their academic level. She has very innovative and creative ways to teach Math that when I’m in her class (I am the Instructional Assistant, almost three times a week in her class) I relearn the math! She is helpful and always willing to help a fellow teacher. Abby always has a smile on her face and makes every student feel they can learn! Our schools need more Abby Smiths!

Ms. Smith, we hope you enjoy your flowers and shopping at Crabtree with your $100 Gift Card!
