I absolutely would be an ungrateful sloth if I did not take the opportunity to nominate two teachers from Tolman Elementary School in Bountiful for the KSL Newsradio Teacher Feature Award. Over the last three kids, we have found that there is a very special First Grade Teacher and Second Grade Teacher at this school. […]

I have watched my wife teach for twenty years. She does do what so many other teachers do with all the extra time and money they put in that people who don’t live them see is happening behind the scenes. I think going above and beyond and pouring all of yourself and efforts into your […]

I wish I could keep Ms. Rebecca as my son’s permanent teacher! I love her so much! My son was really excited to go to school like his older brothers but I never dreamed what a gem we would end up having. When school was just starting there were a couple times when anxiety would […]

Ashley is an outstanding teacher. Being her husband, I get to listen to her passion of teaching as she comes home each day to tell me of the day’s events.
