🎉 Congratulations to Mrs. Lacey Rotan — the 2024–2025 Edgewood Middle School Teacher of the Year! 🎓🍎💜
Today, Mrs. Rotan was surprised and celebrated as she learned she had been selected as this year’s Middle School Teacher of the Year—a well-deserved honor for an educator who goes above and beyond for her students every single day.
Here’s what one of her nominations had to say:
“Mrs. Rotan consistently brings creativity and enthusiasm into her classroom, always exploring new and engaging activities to enhance her students' learning experience. She is committed to professional growth, regularly incorporating innovative teaching methods to keep her students actively involved. Her dedication to supporting students extends beyond academics, especially in nurturing their artistic talents.
A valued member of our school community, Mrs. Rotan actively supports students outside the classroom and maintains strong communication with parents when needed. On a personal note, she has been an incredible source of support for me this year—both professionally and through her involvement with cheer. Her willingness to step in and help, always with a positive attitude, has made a lasting impact.” 💜
Middle School Principal Mrs. Kassi Mays shared:
“Mrs. Rotan is more than just an instructor—she is a mentor, a motivator, and a catalyst for lifelong learning. She possesses not only deep knowledge of art but also the ability to connect with students on a personal level, adapting her teaching methods to meet diverse learning needs.
Mrs. Rotan fosters curiosity, encourages critical thinking, and creates a safe, inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to grow. Their impact extends far beyond the classroom, shaping the character and future of their students. Mrs. Rotan is an essential part to Edgewood Middle School in growing our students on a daily basis.” 👏📚
All four campus Teachers of the Year will be recognized at the next Board of Trustees Meeting, where the Primary and Secondary Teachers of the Year who will advance to the Region 7 Teacher of the Year process will be announced.
🎉 Thank you, Mrs. Rotan, for your passion, dedication, and the incredible impact you’ve made at Edgewood Middle School.
Congratulations on this well-earned recognition! 🐾💜
