Vanessa Arellano Earns Hilbish Teacher of the Month Award for Kannapolis City Schools!

Vanessa Arellano is a very special teacher at Fred L. Wilson Elementary. She was the school’s very first foreign language teacher, and she’s changing lives in profound ways. She came to Fred L. Wilson from Lima, Peru and helped to make Kannapolis City Schools’ Spanish Language Immersion program a reality.

The parents who nominated Ms. Arellano said that she has helped to bring a world of diversity to her students. They praised her ability to give students a great foundation for learning not only a new language but also a new culture. They love the thoughtful instruction Ms. Arellano brings to the classroom and the way she combines her curriculum with incredible caring. In their words, “She truly loves her students and families and supports her students in every possible way.”

We’re very proud that Vanessa Arellano has come to Kannapolis to be part of our KCS family, and we’re delighted that Hilbish Ford has honored her excellence with the Hilbish Ford Outstanding Teacher Award for October. Congratulations!
