Each month, Hilbish Ford recognizes an outstanding teacher at both Kannapolis City Schools and Cabarrus County Schools, who are all nominated by their students and parents. Teachers are often nominated for a list of reasons, but all of them have one thing in common: they will go above and beyond to support the overall success of their students.
We can't thank our teachers enough for all they do to support
their students, but we're proud to present this award each month as our
way to show you how much we appreciate everything you do. Thank you
teachers!
Now, on to this month's Hilbish Teacher of the Month Awards...
Kannapolis City Schools -Suzanne Lentz
Suzanne Lentz is a wonderful example of the amazing teachers we have in Kannapolis City Schools. She has successfully taught fourth grade students at Forest Park Elementary for many years. Her principal Martha Motley shared, “Mrs. Lentz is a proactive teacher who constantly seeks out ways to improve her practice.” This year she stepped into the unknown when she agreed to be a fully remote teacher. Mrs. Motley said, “In this setting, Mrs. Lentz continues to hold students to high expectations while providing a classroom environment that fosters high growth. Mrs. Lentz’s students love learning with her because her class is highly engaging and provides a space that is caring and respectful.”
The parents who nominated Mrs. Lentz for Teacher of the Month shared that she “has been a rock solid foundation for our child this year as her remote learning teacher.” They described her as a wonderful educator and an expert in her field. They have found her to be compassionate, flexible, and approachable. The parents expressed their appreciation the way she works to ensure all students are meeting expectations and have an opportunity for success. They also described the warmth and love she is able to share through the computer screen and how much their child enjoys Mrs. Lentz’s class.
Suzanne Lentz makes all of us in Kannapolis City Schools very proud. We’re delighted that she is part of our KCS family, and we are pleased, on behalf of Tim Vaughn of Hilbish Ford, to honor her with the Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month Award. Congratulations!
