Rachel Leonard named Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month for September

Earlier this month, Rachel Leonard received the Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month Award for her outstanding work as the second grade teacher at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School. Her encouragement and enthusiasm in the classroom keeps her students engaged and excited about learning. Rachel goes out of her way to challenge all students and provide them with opportunities for growth.

One of the parents that nominated Rachel gave several examples of how Rachel promotes learning in her classroom. Among other things, the parent said Mrs. Leonard went the extra mile to provide supplies for the classroom and math workbooks for students to use for practice at home. The parent also said that Rachel helped meet her son’s need for more challenging literature by bringing in a book series for him to use in the classroom and sharing resources that would be beneficial for him. Rachel is always encouraging to students and parents, and she is always available to listen and offer support.

"We are extremely proud that Rachel is part of our Kannapolis City Schools’ family, and we are delighted that Hilbish Ford is honoring her excellence with the Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month Award. Congratulations!" said KCS.  The Hilbish Ford family also wants to congratulate Rachel and thank her for going above and beyond for her students.
