Dear Teacher Feature, My name is Emily Suckow and I am 13 years old. My nomination is for Ms. Kathleen Dansie at Elk Ridge Middle School in South Jordan. You see, I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on May 19, 2009. I can’t go to school until my blood count numbers come up […]

Mrs. Elmer is our child’s 4th grade teacher at Eagle Valley Elementary in Eagle Mountain. She is a fantastic example of a teacher that truly cares about her students’ academics as well as personal growth. She has been a real asset in forming our child’s future. She has been there for us as parents by […]

A few days ago I heard some news I knew would eventually come. My favorite teacher, mentor and friend told me she is going to retire at the end of this school year. I have known Ms. Jennifer Orison for over twenty years now. Our first meeting was when I was seven years old and […]

I would like to nominate Mr. Glassford for the Teacher Feature award. He has been a Biology teacher at Lakeridge Junior High for 19 years. All my four children have had him as their teacher – my youngest has him now. He is an amazing and dedicated teacher. He arrives every day at 7 AM […]

Mrs. Handy is a kindergarten teacher at Morningside Elementary in Granite School District. Although her title is teacher, she is also a master cheerleader and magician. Students best learn when they feel encouraged and successful. Mrs. Handy is a great cheerleader with her students! She works with students with many varying abilities, strengths and needs, […]

It is with great pleasure and admiration that I nominate Mr. Robert Stevens of Highland High School for your local Teacher Feature on KSL Radio. Mr. Stevens is the beloved woodshop teacher at Highland High School and has consistently gone above and beyond his inherent gifts as a teacher in several ways. At the individual […]

I would like to nominate Dyan Stewart from Bountiful Junior High School. My son has Aspergers and severe ADHD. Every year I have to meet with the teachers and explain his problems, his limitations and his weaknesses. It is a very humbling experience. Most teachers are pretty good to work with while some seem so […]

Miss Green is an exemplary teacher with an extraordinary ability to reach each student in her class! I have seen her do some amazing things over the years, but this year she has been even more exceptional. This year she has a special-needs student who has been repeatedly hospitalized due to a severe seizure disorder. […]

I proudly nominate Ogden High School teacher Roger Snow for a KSL/Zion’s Bank Teacher Feature Award. Mr. Snow teaches basic drafting, computer aided drafting, principles of engineering, civil engineering and architecture, and aerospace engineering. Since his first day of kindergarten, our youngest son Craig has never cared much for school. That attitude didn’t really much […]

Our son just went into 2nd grade this year. He is a very high energy little man. He has always been very confident, happy, and outgoing. After school started this year he has really changed. He has become much less confident and happy. This was really concerning us so we spoke with Mrs. McLean and […]

Dorothy Foy is an unsung hero at Rosecrest Elementary! My son had her for 1st grade 5 years ago, and at the beginning of the year I was excited to find out why parents oohed and aahed about her as a teacher. It didn’t take long before I saw why. Children love her! Each child […]
