✨ Black History Spotlight ✨ With 13 years in education, Brittany Lovelace was inspired to teach after growing up without having a teacher of color from K-12. The desire to create representation for African American students and be a role model they could relate to led Ms. Lovelace to the classroom. What keeps them motivated? The joy of watching students grow, mastering new concepts, and flourishing in ways they never thought possible. A key influence in their journey was Dr. Paxton, a college professor whose kindness extended beyond the classroom, always checking in to ensure students were thriving both academically and personally. Recognized as Teacher of the Week and certified in both photography and computer science, Ms. Lovelace has embraced every challenge, including the unforgettable experience of teaching through COVID—a time of growth, resilience, and survival. The message she hopes to leave with every student? 💡 "Learning can be fun—it's what you make it. Give it your all and try your best." #BlackHistorySpotlight #EducatorSpotlight #Inspiration

✨ Black History Spotlight ✨ With 6 years in education, all spent with Conway Public Schools, Denisha Knapp was drawn to teaching by the opportunity to shape lives, inspire young minds, and help students discover their potential. The chance to make a real, lasting difference is what fuels their passion every day. A key influence in their journey was Amanda Barker, an English teacher and varsity cheer coach, whose high standards and passion for learning sparked a love for reading and ultimately inspired a career in education—a path Ms. Knapp once vowed never to take, but life had other plans! Recognized as a Conway Core Values Champion, Paraprofessional of the Year, Arkansan of the Day, and 501 Life Person of the Month, Ms. Knapp has also celebrated two state championships with their Unified Basketball team. One unforgettable teaching moment came when a student delivered a heartfelt speech, sharing how winning a Special Olympics gold medal had shaped her life. Seeing her speak confidently with minimal assistance after weeks of hard work was truly inspiring. The most important lesson Ms. Knapp hopes to pass on? 💡 "The value of honesty and taking responsibility for your actions." Let’s celebrate the dedication and impact of Ms. Knapp this Black History Month! 🙌 #BlackHistorySpotlight#EducatorSpotlight #Inspiration #SpecialOlympics
