Hawthorn School District 73
Vernon Hills, IL
Born to teach – this is the way to describe Skye! There is no doubt that she exemplifies this phrase. In only her first year she’s made such an impact on students, families, and her colleagues. From student teaching at Illinois State to spending 8 weeks teaching in London to her 3rd graders in Vernon Hills—she is a kid magnet. She goes above and beyond for each and every student. To her it’s not a job it’s her passion. She finds a way for every student to succeed. She brings creativity, excitement, and challenges to the students in her classroom. Her classroom is a place where students feel safe to take chances, take risks, and know that she’s always going to be there for them. These are the qualities that make her an amazing teacher!
