🦅2024-2025 Elementary Teacher of the Year 🦅
Congratulations to the 24-25 Elementary teacher of the year, Mr. David Markes!
David Markes' recognition as Elementary School Teacher of the Year highlights his exceptional ability to make math, science, and social studies engaging and accessible. His passion for teaching, supportive classroom environment, and dedication to his students' success make him an outstanding educator who inspires both learning and critical thinking.
Here are some kind comments & feedback from colleagues:
🧡 David has been a positive influence, and encourages all of his students.
🧡 David works very hard to help his students to succeed.
🧡He always seems very engaged with his students in a very positive way. I never hear him say anything negative about students, just their positive traits. He does fun, engaging assignments with his students (that my middle schoolers still talk about). He's a positive male figure for all students, and always seems very happy to be here. I also love how he takes interest in all students, not just his own.
🧡 He's maintained interest and involvement of his students year after year and kids love him!
🧡 He has shown his dedication to his students through the many years of service at Afton School.
