Every week we honor another awesome teacher in the local area with our ‘Teacher of the Week’ award!

Congratulations to Melissa Cannon of FMI in Marion, this week’s ‘Teacher of the Week!” Melissa was nominated by Josh Hogan, and here’s what he had to say:

“Melissa is a teacher that pays extra attention to her students. She noticed my son having a hard time seeing from his seat. Instead of just teaching and leaving a 4th grader to "figure it out," she contacted us as parents and showed genuine concern for our son's eyesight, and since his eye doctor visit and the purchase of glasses my son is doing great. Thank you Melissa Cannon for having the well being of your students first and foremost!!”

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