Teacher of the Week - Heidy Davenport
On February 1, we honored our third Great American Teacher of the Week winner for 2008. Heidy Davenport, a pre-kindergarten and kindergarten teacher at North Avondale Montessori School was nominated by parent Krista Taylor.



Taylor, whose son is in the class, volunteers in the classroom and had this to say in her nomination:
Mrs. Davenport nurtures the body, mind and spirit of her students every day through her curriculum instruction, gentle behavioral direction and genuine love of children. We are so grateful for her presence in our lives. She truly deserves this honor.

Mrs. Davenport expressed her appreciation during the surprise visit to her classroom. "It's really about the kids. They are the ones who do all the work," she said. "But, I'm so thankful to be recognized this way. I wish every teacher could get this award."

Congratulations Mrs. Davenport!
