The Southwest Voice

Nominated by Jared Tholl and his Mom
 
We nominate Mrs. Bickham, a first-grade teacher at Old River Elementary School to be a Southwest Voice Educator of the Month.  Mrs. Bickham challenges her student in a fun way. Jared has blossomed academically with her. 

This is what Jared wrote on his own: "I like Mrs. Bickham because she makes us smart.  When we get marble jar parties we have so much fun.  When we get Deputy (student helper) we get to help Mrs. Bickham." 

Mrs. Bickham not only cares about the academics of a student but about the students themselves.  She is always willing to go to the extra mile.
 
Thank you for considering this nomination
