Niki Magrini

Kids make a work day, a fun day. I’m pretty sure my students are the ones that teach ME for the 7 hours each day, I get to spend with them.

Tell us why you became a teacher

To make a difference; to influence beyond academic subjects; to shape students' character and values, encouraging them to become open-minded and inclusive individuals. Nurturing these qualities, my goal is always to prepare students to thrive in a diverse and interconnected world.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is with a class that I was fortunate enough to teach for their last 3 years of elementary school (3rd, 4th, & 5th). With a full understanding and acceptance of each other, I could teach, and they could learn, ANYTHING. We would say “we should be on TV, with how amazing we are!” It was a hard group to let move on. They have all become successful college aged students!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Wow. I don’t know. Definitely spend it. Ha!
