Congratulations to our Grant County Chamber of Commerce Elementary Teacher of the Year Angie Walters!
With 22 years of experience as a teacher in our district, Ms. Angie Walters has touched the lives of countless students in our community. In a letter of recommendation, one mother wrote of the lasting influence Ms. Walters made on her son:
“Ms. Walters taught my oldest son in the third grade. He was so inspired by her that in a high school class where he was to write about someone who had impacted his life, he chose her! He will tell you to this day that she is his all-time favorite teacher. He will also tell you she was the teacher who demanded the most from him! It is a rare gift for a person to be able to do both - demand a lot, and still be the favorite.”
Although Ms. Walters has 22 years in our district, this school year was her first at the East End Intermediate campus. The fact that her new peers unanimously voted for her to be their campus teacher of the year, is an overwhelming testament to the impact she has made on the students, parents, and staff at EEI. Ms. Walters’ passion to serve, her amazing talent to get the most from her students, and the way in which she ensures each child feels loved and cared for in her classroom, makes Ms. Walters an excellent choice for the Elementary Teacher of the Year.
