JAMS TEACHER OF THE YEAR - LAUREN LOPEZ

This year’s Teacher of the Year, Lauren Lopez, is dedicated, passionate, and has made exceptional contributions to the school community. She is renowned for her ability to help students gain confidence in math, especially those who initially doubt their abilities. Her positive attitude and daily smile create a welcoming and encouraging classroom environment. A true testament to her impact is the fact that students never want to leave her class. They frequently return to her room throughout the school day and even in subsequent years, long after they have moved on to other grades. Beyond her classroom, she serves as a co-advisor for the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), where she plays a vital role in helping students develop leadership and community service skills. Her hard work and dedication continue to make a significant impact on the lives of her students and the entire school community. Congratulations, Lauren!
