Everyone, meet Michelle Buie, a 4th grade Writing teacher at Ellen Smith Elementary! Her one-word description is PASSIONATE, and you can see that passion in every corner of the school. Michelle is incredibly creative, often the one responsible for the decorative photo booths that start our year, fun signs around the building, and energetic assembly performances that keep our school spirit high.
Why she was nominated:
"Michelle Buie is such a fun, energetic, motivated teacher. She knows how to dig in and teach her students well while keeping an eye on their data and progress and adjusting her whole group and small group instruction to their needs. She also knows how to have fun, dance, and plan fun activities for all! She leads our school's Jump Rope Team and makes it such a fun thing for students to be a part of... Ellen Smith is a better place because she's in it!"
