“From my son who is a 6th grader in her class. “She is very caring of her students, very kind to them and helps them learn. She is also a lot of fun. She helped them learn to bake cookies, brought in Chick fil a for lunch for a fun Thanksgiving week meal.” My son has struggling going to school for years, being late or not going at all and this year he has been everyday, not missing a day and has never had a complaint about her which is saying something. She is simply amazing. She is kind, patient, sweet, she truly cares and the students feel that. She cares about each student but also cares about their education.”

“Mrs. White is such a great teacher because she truly makes a lasting impact on her students. Every incoming sixth grader hopes to have her, and it’s easy to see why. She encourages leadership and kindness in her classroom, helping students feel confident and valued. Mrs. White has a special ability to recognize each student’s strengths and then place them in situations where those strengths can shine and grow. Her lessons are fun, creative, and engaging, making learning memorable long after the school year ends. She puts an incredible amount of time and effort into everything she does, often going above and beyond—especially with the Shakespeare play her class performs for the school, which is always a highlight. On top of that, she creates a joyful school environment through parties and activities that build friendships and make students genuinely excited to come to school.”
