The votes are in, and this week’s LINK nky Educator of the Week is Selena Ballou, a teacher at Beechwood High School.
Ballou was nominated by Emma Heidrich and Cody Barnes. Heidrich said she nominated Ballou because “Mrs. Ballou is the perfect example of a kind, funny, and caring teacher. Each day in her classroom, I grow closer to her as a person but also to the lessons she teaches. Learning through her analogies and descriptions helps me better picture literature in her English class. She brings a light-headed and fun personality to class every day, and I look forward to seeing her daily. I can come to her with any questions, concern, or even just a tiny detail about my day. Please consider her for Educator of the Week because she is the most deserving teacher I know!”
Barnes nominated Ballou because “Ms. Ballou is genuinely the nicest teacher I have ever met. She is always kind to others and will work around everyone’s conflicts to make sure they can do the best education they can while they have her. She is very cooperative with everyone. She will always listen to your stories and talk with you whenever you need them. You can go to her for anything, and she will always be there to help whether it is school-related or life skills. She is overall a dedicated and sweet person to be around and is always willing to help students or staff whenever she can. That is why I am Nominating Ms. Ballou.”
Congratulations to Noel, and thank you to everyone who participated.
