When Amanda Mersek talks about learning that sticks, she's talking about the kind of teaching that transforms a classroom. As a teacher at Riverside Middle School, Amanda brought High Touch High Tech into her 5th grade science lessons this past school year, turning abstract concepts into tangible moments of discovery. Her commitment to hands-on, real-world learning experiences reflects exactly the kind of educational excellence we celebrate across Crestwood. This is what great teaching looks like.

Meet Maggie Jones, teacher at Riverside Middle School who knows that the best learning happens when students take the lead. In her culminating physical science lesson, Maggie stepped back and let her students drive their own inquiry, choosing their own methods to explore magnetism, solubility, and electrical conductivity. The result? Deep understanding and real confidence. Stories like Maggie's remind us why we prioritize student voice and hands-on learning across our district.
