She is a teacher who has a special impact on many, many lives and that is one reason why Melanie Stoker was selected as Siegfried and Jensen’s “Teacher of the Month.” Ms. Stoker is a Language Arts Special Education teacher at West Hills Middle School.
Principal Cynthia Vandermeiden said Melanie Stoker is the kind of teacher who has great connections with students, is always positive, and is great at working with parents. She is described as compassionate and always thinks about the needs of others first.
Siegfried and Jensen surprised Ms. Stoker with her “Teacher of the Month” award during a school assembly. She received a variety of gifts, money for her classroom, and will be featured on a billboard along I-15 in the Salt Lake Valley.
Congratulations to this amazing teacher! Keep up the wonderful work.
Mountain Shadows Elementary School Principal Tina Susuico turned into a human ice cream sundae along with several teachers during a fun-filled end of the year event. It was all part of activities to celebrate the success of the school’s PTA fundraiser. Several teachers were wrapped in toilet paper to look like cotton swabs, others were covered in silly string, got pies in the face, were doused with buckets of water, and two teachers were duct taped to the wall.
It was a fun and somewhat emotional walk down memory lane for West Jordan High School seniors the day before graduation. The students participated in a “Graduation Walk,” where they walked up and down the halls of their former elementary and middle schools greeting students and connecting with former teachers.
