Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceDuring the COVID-19 shut downs, our school did a drive by celebration. All of the teachers decorated their cars, got into a caravan, and drove through the neighborhoods surrounding our school so we could wave to the kids from a safe distance. It made such an impact upon one of my families that they coordinated a surprise class drive by celebration, where the kids all got into a caravan and drove past my house with signs. It is the most appreciated I have ever felt as a teacher.
