The Eagle Pass Independent School District has partnered with
local businesses throughout our city to highlight the Teacher of the Month
program, which honors educators who have made a difference in our
community. The program recognizes outstanding kindergarten,
elementary, junior high, and high school teachers in Eagle Pass, Texas.
Mrs. Norma P. Heredia, of Liberty Elementary School, has been
selected as the “Teacher of the Month” for February 2016. Mrs. Heredia
has been described as a highly compassionate, reliable, caring, and dedicated
teacher. She demonstrates every characteristic of an accomplished
veteran educator. Day after day, Mrs. Heredia walks onto campus,
with what has been described as an “infectious positive attitude.” As a
Reading Interventionist, Mrs. Heredia works with small groups and has countless
success stories with her students. Her one-on-one approach allows the
struggling reader or ELA student to confidently approach and master the
subject. Mrs. Heredia teaches with purpose and her techniques are
respected by coworkers and administration on campus. Her highly
effective, caring, and enthusiastic attitude personifies what it is to be an
excellent educator. She teaches with real passion from the heart,
with integrity, and above all a real concern for the success of her students. It
is because of all these reasons that Mrs. Heredia, of Liberty Elementary is our
“Teacher of the Month” for February 2016.
A segment will appear on iVision
throughout the month of February detailing many more accomplishments
of Mrs. Heredia. This month she will also appear on community
media, news publications and the EPISD website throughout February 2016.
A teacher will be selected each month
through June 2016 for a total of nine (9) honorees. The “Teacher of
the Month” will be chosen based on educational achievements in the classroom,
community contributions and innovative programs and techniques used by the
teacher. The “Teacher of the Month” will receive a certificate of recognition
and will be featured on iVision, local media news, news publications and radio
broadcasting. Additionally, each “Teacher of the Month” will receive
donations from local businesses.
Each T.O.M is
receiving a “V.I.T (Very Important Teacher) Parking Pass”, a jean voucher for a
month, 20 free meals at the Campus Café, and Class Cash to purchase class room
supplies. Additionally, each “Teacher of the Month” will receive donations from
local businesses, Ancira Ford–Eagle Pass, Ashley Furniture, and Bath and Body
Works.
