Student Nomination Story

I am writing for my son Caleb Nichols about his teacher Mrs. Adkins. She has gone above and beyond for my son. She’s constantly coming up with creative ways to help him learn and to stay focused. Even with my sons emotional issues at times she always remains patient calm and loving. She constantly stays in touch with me via email phone calls and even text messages to let me know if there are any issues but also when he is making progress and behaving well. Mrs. Adkins informed me of a program within the school where her husband who is a firefighter comes in mentors. My son absolutely loves this program as well as both Mr. and Mrs. Adkins. She even reached out to me recently About wanting to get Caleb something really nice for Christmas. I have an older daughter in the eighth grade and in all my years of my children both being in school I have never encountered such a hands-on and wonderful teacher as Mrs. Adkins. The bond she has created with my son warms my heart. My son has faced issues with bullies, learning problems and emotional issues but I have seen such progress since she has been working with him and myself. it broke my heart to see grades in the 50s and 60s coming from my third grader just last week all I saw in his folder was 80s and 90s. I hope this wonderful woman/teacher is nominated I truly feel she deserves it she has been an angel sent from heaven.
