Congratulations to Peggy Wakefield of Novak Elementary in Marion, this week’s ‘Teacher of the Week!” Peggy was nominated by two people! Here’s what they had to say:

"Peggy’s gentle demeanor and years of experience make her perfect for teaching preschoolers. (As a teenager, she says she loved reading about child development for FUN!) Her abundance of patience and her passion for teaching is clear as she guides little ones through their first introductions to the academic world." Amy Vanderhorn

"Ms. Peggy is an outstanding preschool teacher. She has so much patience with the little ones and such a big heart. She cares for each child as if they were her grandchildren. Each day she greets the children and parents with a smile. She does a great job making each child feel special, and challenging them to do their best." - Shanon Lappe

Peggy will be receiving gift cards from Wild Hogs in Walford, Peck’s Flower Shop, Half Price Books, and Kathy’s Pies.
