Here are three teachers we recognized this week.

Madison Nominated Her Dad Mr. Jon Wirth

He teaches 4th Grade Math, Reading, Language Arts At Grant's Lick Elementary 

We had Madison on to tell us a little about Mr. Wirth.

“I am not one of his students, but his daughter. I know how much hard work my dad has put in for his fourth grade students not only this year, but last year as well when everything first went virtual. He has two more years until he is retiring and he gets thrown into the fire and is mastering it so well! He has been so nervous about having to re-learn how to teach, but he has put in so much hard work and extra work to make sure his students have the resources they need to learn and be the best students they can be! I have had parents of his students from this year and last year message me about how awesome he is doing during this time and his face lights up every time I tell him. His students love having him in class due to the way he teaches and the relationship he has with his students (I swear every time we are in public at least one of his students or a former student comes up to him or even yells, “Mr. Wirth!!!” from across the s tore). People don’t really see the work these teachers put in behind the scenes to get what they need on the screens for the students, and I know Mr. Wirth is putting in several extra hours every night to do what is needed to be the best teacher he can be for his students! Last year when our world turned upside down, he made videos for his students every night with a quick math lesson but also made the video funny so it would engage his students and he got several comments on his videos from students and parents about how they loved those videos and looked forward to watching them every day! (I can provide his most famous video if you would like! Please let me know! It was the night The Last Dance documentary came out and he did a MJ entrance with spotlights and the Chicago Bulls Theme Song! It was awesome!) I mean c’mon the 49 year old made a bitmoji just for his students PowerPoints! Mr. Wirth keep being great!”
