Congratulations to Kennedy Reynolds, future middle school Social Studies teacher, our April education student of the month!!
Here’s a little bit about her:
My hidden talent is crocheting.
My favorite SWIC class is Intro to Education because it is the class that showed me how much I love teaching!
I will start my first day of school in my classroom making all the student comfortable so they know that they can come to me for anything.
A good day at school means the sun is shining!
I show my school spirit through my advocation of going!
The hope to change school for my future students.
I will change the myth that many students have that school is hard by showing them how to actually understand what they have.
The wisdom I would pass down is that patience goes a long way in life.
My greatest achievement this year is getting to second semester.
My students will remember my class as a class that gave them an outlet to speak and help them understand the world better.
The quote I live by is "If there is no struggle, there is no progress" by Fredrick Douglass
I enjoy SWIC because the community that I have seen and experienced are full of the sweetest people that I have ever met. They will always help others and continue to make everyday amazing!

Congratulations, Kennedy – you are amazing!
