Congratulations to this week’s BICKHAM’S BEST.
MRS. LAYMAN and MRS. ODOM.
Mrs Layman:
“She sees a problem and takes action, while always keeping the students first. This year she is teaching computers to 4th and 5th grades and working with small groups in reading. As an aspiring administrator, she coordinates the after school tutoring program and also coaches the Patriettes Flagline. She is VITAL to improving literacy at Bickham and is definitely worthy of this award.
Kristin is ALWAYS willing to help anyone with technology or program problems. She embraces new technology and the curriculum and is always willing to share her knowledge with a smile.”
“Ever since being named my mentor, she has done so much to help me navigate the waters as a first year teacher. Anytime I have a question, she is quick to get the answer and help me out. She is just AMAZING!”
“Kristin is ALWAYS willing to help anyone with technology or program problems. She embraces new technology and the curriculum and is always willing to share her knowledge with a smile.”
“She does her job without complaint and it is evident how she loves all the kids she encounters.”
Mrs. Odom:
“She is kind and patient. She works hard at her job and is always there to lend a helping hand.”
“She is a dedicated worker that takes joy in doing her job and being kind to others.”
“She is just the best and is one of the hardest working people I know.
I have worked with Odom for years. She always steps up to fill in anywhere she is needed and NEVER complains. You will even see students in her office being counseled because they feel so comfortable opening up to her. She is always fun and smiling! She is beautiful inside and out!”
