This week’s recipient is Charmaine McNeil, nominated by Angely Cullerne, who writes:
Charmaine/Mrs McNeil has taught both my children at Pukekohe East Primary School (my 8-year-old and my now 5-year-old). She’s really helped them, and all the kids she teaches, thrive at our school.
Charmaine teaches the youngest students at the school, and she has always been caring and supportive, making the time and effort to help the kids and their families, especially noting the differences in the kids’ personalities, learning styles, and learning abilities and knows just how to guide them.
Charmaine also reaches out to hubby and me – the open communication is so important, especially when it’s your first time at a school and when you both want what is best for the children’s learning and wellbeing. I love how she uses our school app to explain in more detail about why they are learning a particular activity to parents and families.
You can see the kids thriving in their first year at school! We are so grateful to have caring and dedicated teachers at the school.
The Franklin Times is recognising the many wonderful people in our community who go out of their way to help others with our regular Community Hero award.
If you know someone who’s doing amazing things in our community, please email 80 to 100 words describing why they deserve this recognition, highlighting specific actions they’ve taken to benefit our community, with your and their contact details and a high-resolution photo of them, if possible, to editor@franklintimes.co.nz.
