This year, Crissy Campbell from Dartmouth and Deanne McLendon from Union Middle were chosen as middle school finalists in our region and were recently recognized at the annual CLMS Teacher of the Year event on November 10th. Congratulations for receiving the honor!
Crissy Campbell stands out as an amazing educator who makes a tremendous impact on the minds and hearts of her students. She sets the bar for science instruction each day by engaging her students with hands-on learning and critical thinking experiences which encourage collaboration and rich discourse. Dartmouth loves Mrs. Campbell for the positive energy and love she brings every day.
Deanne McLendon has spent 25 plus years in the classroom, most recently creating our next generation of artists in room 7 at UMS through her art classes. Her passion for the arts that she not only shares with her students, but inspires them to a deeper level and a lifelong passion in the arts. Mrs. McLendon can often be seen talking through a project with her students, never in judgment of their efforts, rather always comforting, encouraging, and teaching new techniques to deepen her students’ talents.
