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.
February's Teacher of the Month is none
other than Armando Cerna Elementary School's Mrs. Jessica Ramon. Mrs. Ramon is
a 3rd grade teacher and is going on her 10th year in the profession. She has
taught several grade levels and continuously contributes to her campus and
district in many ways. She has volunteered to coach activities such as cheer,
basketball, baseball, UIL Ready Writing, and UIL Co-Coordinator. She's also
worked after-school tutorials, Summer School, Bilingual and Migrant Programs,
and grade-level chairperson. She has even served the district as a member of
the District-Wide Educational Improvement Council.
Mrs. Ramon goes above and beyond for her
students and EPISD. She encourages her students daily to independently
show their learning through various methods in order to have each student excel
in their preference or dominant learning method. It is evident her students
love her and her classroom environment. Mrs. Ramon is also a great team player,
as she collaborates endlessly with her colleagues. She is always willing to
share and what is so special about her is that her sharing isn't just at her
campus, but throughout EPISD.
Mrs. Ramon is positive, caring, and has shown
bravery as well! Not once but twice, Mrs. Ramon has saved a Stallion life! Once
with the Heimlich Maneuver and most recently assisting in a medical emergency!
For all these reasons and more, Mrs. Jessica Ramon is Teacher of the
Month.
A segment will appear
on iVision throughout the month of February detailing many more accomplishments
of Mrs. Ramon. This month she will also appear on community media, news
publications and the EPISD website throughout February 2022 A teacher
will be selected each month through May 2022 for a total of eight (8)
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, Chick-fil-A Gift Card, and Class Cash to purchase class room supplies.
Additionally, each “Teacher of the Month” will receive donations from local
businesses. Thank You Border Federal Credit Union, Ashley Furniture,
