Congratulations!!

Congratulations Yolanda Reilly, Physical Education and Health teacher for being selected as a finalist for Teacher of the Year. She began teaching in the fall of 2005; and since then has taught elementary, middle and high school. She stated “her  achievements and contributions in education lie in the lasting impressions  made in her students, in the hugs and thanks that she receives from the parents of children she’s motivated, and in the students from the past who appreciated the things she taught them and the words of wisdom that were bestowed upon them over the years.  These are the things that drive and motivate her to continue educating students to the best of her ability”.  We Are Proud of You!!
