We think teachers are some of the best people around. Think back to a memorable time in your life and odds are a teacher had an influence on it. The Orion Teacher of the Month Award is our way of honoring exemplary teachers at our adopted school, Kate Bond Elementary, and saying “thank you” for all their hard work.

We are delighted to introduce this month’s winner,  Crystal Carson!  Ms. Carson is a Physical Education Teacher at KBE.  She has been with the school for 2 years and teaches all grades, Kindergarten through 5th.  Congratulations, Crystal!
