Teacher of the Month

There’s nothing worse than enjoying recess on a sunny when a bunch of fancy-dressed adults come to visit your teacher. This was an exception! The Reidland Intermediate School 4th grade left the playground equipment and ran to congratulate their teacher, Caroline Jones as she was awarded the West Kentucky Star Teacher of the Month.
 
As a 4th Grade Math, Science and Social Studies teacher, Ms. Jones teaches over 50 students in all. A McCracken County High School and Murray State graduate, she is in her third year of teaching. Other than spending her days teaching, Ms. Jones LOVES to read.
 
When asked how she remembers all the students’ names she said “I love them! The minute I see their faces I just know who they are!” You will likely see Ms. Jones at Reidland Intermediate for a while as she will “absolutely” teach there for the rest of her career.

Congratulations Ms. Jones!

West Kentucky Star Teacher of the Month, sponsored by Scott Walker Construction, is awarded each month of the school year. As the February winner, Ms. Jones will join other 2024-2025 awardees for West Kentucky Star Teacher of the Year 2024 – 2025. Each teacher’s school receives a yard sign to show that a “Teacher of the Month Works Here.” It’s a great addition to the school entrances and a way schools can show off their winning teacher! Also, thanks to our sponsor, all monthly winners receive $75!
