Animation of an award for the teacher feature special by KSL...

“Ms. Clyde is the music teacher at our school. She makes music time so fun with multiple instruments and songs. She’s upbeat and genuinely excited every day to see each student, and it’s clear that she cares about them a great deal. Her face absolutely lights up whenever she sees the kids. It’s obvious that she wants to pass along her passion for music to the kids, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s the reason that many of them will love music for the rest of their lives. She also directs the school choirs. Each program that they put on is creative and fun. It isn’t just singing, there’s dancing, funny speaking parts, instruments, and so much more. What she teaches isn’t just music. She also teaches kids to expand their minds, step out of their comfort zones, and try things they’ve never done before. She is one of the best teachers my kids have ever had, and we’re incredibly lucky to have her.”
