Jill Trexler Earns Hilbish Teacher of the Month Award for KCS

Congrulations to Jill Trexler for earning the October Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month Award for
Kannapolis City Schools! 

"Jill Trexler is an amazing first grade teacher at Shady Brook Elementary. She is among a select group of Hilbish Award winners who received multiple nominations from parents. All the nominations glowed with praise for Ms. Trexler’s caring, dedication, positive attitude, and the way she inspires children.

One parent called Ms. Trexler “a shining light to all her students.” The parent said, “Ms. Trexler is patient and loving and treats my son like her own. She has made first grade an amazing year, and we are beyond grateful for her dedication and passion.” Another parent said that Ms. Trexler made her daughter, who was new to the school, feel extremely welcome. She also praised Ms. Trexler for being so responsive to questions. Yet another parent had two children who both had Ms. Trexler. Her nomination said, “Ms. Trexler always has a smile and makes the students feel loved and appreciated. Everyone I talk with always has something good to say about her. The compliments I hear about Ms. Trexler are awesome. She is truly an inspiration and a remarkable teacher.”

This is the kind of dedication, caring, and influence that makes public education special. We’re proud that Jill Trexler is part of our KCS family, and we’re delighted that Hilbish Ford has honored her excellence with the Outstanding Teacher Award for October. Congratulations!"
