Brittany Christian
Named Teacher of
the Month
Brittany Christian, 7th grade
English Language Arts Teacher at
Summers Middle School, was
honored at the Principal Awards
Program in October (lst 9 weeks) as
Teacher of the Month!
Mrs. Christian goes above and
beyond; she has patience, and takes
time to encourage her students
when practicing the basics in
reading and language. Brittany also
works with parents in trying new
things that may benefit their child's
individual learning skills. She is not
just a good role model for students
but the students enjoy her class.
Brittany genuinely cares for the
well-being of her students and other
staffmembers at SMS. "She is truly
one of the best teachers I know, she
cares about us," says one of Mrs.
Christian's students. "Brittany is
young and bright, she is excited and
designs her classroom for whatever
novel the students may be studying
at the time," says a co-worker.
"Brittany spends numerous hours
trying to make learning fun for her
students, anything to make them
want to dig in and learn...sometimes
I see her car at school late at night,"
says Principal Susie Hudson. Most
of her classes have 25 or more
students. She is a winning teacher
and we awarded her this because we
want her to know she is greatly
appreciated at Summers Middle
School.
