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 - Alexandra Medley
Written by Kannapolis City Schools
Alexandra Medley is a phenomenal fourth grade teacher at Jackson Park Elementary School, the kind of teacher children remember for a lifetime. Just listen to the comments we received in her nominations. “Mrs. Medley deserves so much recognition for her work this year! She is one of a kind and JPES is made better just by her being there. Mrs. Medley constantly goes above and beyond all expectations to make learning as fluid and normal as possible. She has shown grace, and patience as well as strength and care. Her love for her kids and for teaching is evident in the way she teaches, the way she engages them, and the way she interacts with them. This was my child's first year at JPES and she has made him feel completely at home and a part of the family at JPES. She has made his transition seamless and I am so grateful for that. Mrs. Medley also is great at communicating and whether it's about an assignment or a concern, she is always on top of it. She also takes the time to communicate good news, which I feel like sets her apart. She takes time to praise exceptional behavior and good deeds, which we all need to hear, especially in times like these. This unprecedented year, has been made much easier by her hard work and dedication. We are beyond thankful for Mrs. Medley. Her heart for teaching and her students is truly one of kind and I can't think of anyone more deserving of recognition than her.”
Jackson Park principal, Will Gibson couldn’t agree more. He shared, “Very honestly, Alexandra Medley makes all of us better. The students and teachers of Jackson Park. Not only is she a wonderful teacher to all the students here in our school, but she also models the professionalism, drive and passion that brings magic to the classrooms of Kannapolis City Schools.”
We couldn’t say it any better than that. We’re delighted that Alexandra is a part of our KCS family. We’re also grateful that Hilbish Ford is honoring her excellence with the Hilbish Ford Teacher of the Month Award. Congratulations!
