2012 Golden Apple Honoree: Anne Reese

Anne’s second grade classroom at Howard Driggs Elementary is like a cozy, inviting family room.  Pictures of her students – each of whom is convinced they are her favorite – decorate the walls.  The atmosphere she creates in the classroom is like her teaching style -- warm, welcoming and a safe place to learn.  When she’s with her students, she shines.  She encourages them, helps them find ways to improve, and listens to what they say.
