Katie Bates, Woodstock Elementary

“Mrs. Bates is one incredible kindergarten teacher! The amount of love and support she shows her students and how she treats them all like they are her own children it’s just amazing! My son has progressed so much, academically, emotionally, socially and we are so proud of him and thankful that he has had such an amazing teacher. Kindergarten can be a little scary and nerve wracking for these little ones as they start “big kid school” for the first time and Mrs. Bates lovingly guides them and helps them grow and have the courage and the academic knowledge they need to progress. She deserves this and more!’
