A moment to remember! Northumberland Elementary officially announced Lauren Davis as our 26.27
Teacher of the Year with a celebration in front of the entire school in the parking lot!
The energy was electric as students, teachers, and staff gathered together outside to cheer on this incredible 3rd-grade teacher.
Mrs. Davis brings so much passion, dedication, and joy to her classroom every day, and seeing the whole school community come together to celebrate her was truly unforgettable. We are so lucky to have her inspiring our students and leading by example.
Thank you, Mrs. Davis, for your unwavering commitment to our students and for making such a lasting impact on our school!
