Congratulations to Shaunna Jeffries who was nominated for the The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). This is the highest honor bestowed by the United States government specifically for K-12 science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and/or computer science teaching. The Awards were established by Congress in 1983. The President recognizes up to 108 exemplary teachers each year. Shaunna is currently a 4th Grade Dual Language Teacher at Frank Porter Graham Bilingue Elementary School. She has previously served our district as a teacher assistant at Carrboro Elementary and Frank Porter Graham Bilingue Elementary. Shaunna’s principal, Karen Galassi-Ferrer, shares: “Ms. Jeffries is simply magical! Upon entering her classroom, you feel an overwhelming sense of community, joy, and calm. She creates a safe and inclusive environment that allows all students to explore who they are and who they want to become. Students are willing to take risks as they know their community and teacher will support them regardless of the accuracy of their answers/ideas/attempts. Ms. Jeffries's children exhibit a pride to be one of her children and know that once they are one of Ms. Jeffries's babies, they will always be one of her babies.” Thank you, Shaunna, for bringing excellence to your work and to your students every day!
Congrats 💐
