Mary Matthews, South Jordan Middle School

“Ms. Matthews is an innovative teacher who is always on the hunt to make her classroom an experience for her students to remember; whether that is searching the web for ideas or attending PDs around the state. Ms. Matthews goes above and beyond for her students and school community by building rapport with each and everyone of them and understanding their needs. She is well loved and respected by her colleagues, administration, and her students. Matthews, like most teachers, spends so much out of her own pocket, this would be an honor to her in multiple ways!”
