One of the best aspects of St. Michael School is the lasting impact our teachers have on former students. They stay in touch and continue to follow and support them for years to come.

Mr. Prather is one of those teachers. This weekend, he treated his former 5th graders, who are ready to graduate from high school in a few weeks, to dinner. This is an annual tradition for Mr. Prather.

We are so grateful to have Ms. Tansey on our faculty. She is kind, patient and the perfect Kindergarten teacher. She loves her students and even made each of them a personalized blanket at Christmas this year. Cheers to Ms. Tansey.

Our next spotlight is Brinna Tansey! Brinna teaches Kindergarten at St. Michael School in Penn Yan. She's been at St. Michael for 2 years, but has been in education for 9 years!

Do you have a hidden talent or fun fact that would surprise your students?
A fun fact that would surprise my students would be that I love animals and have held parrots in Hawaii and a baby lamb in Ireland.

What accomplishment of your students are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my students when they show their kindness towards others.

If you could pass along any wisdom to your students, what would you share?
One piece of wisdom I would pass along to my students would be to not be afraid to try new things. They can always learn something new!

Today, we are celebrating our Teacher’s Aides. They are the backbone of our school. They do it all from supporting teachers and students in the classroom to supervising recess to whatever is needed to be done. We appreciate each and every one of them.
