This month’s Spotlight Educators are Michelle Hubbell from Freeport Intermediate School and Jennifer Nicholas from OM Roberts Elementary School!

The purpose of the BISD Educator Spotlight Award is to recognize outstanding teachers across our district. These are teachers who go above and beyond for not only students, but for their co-workers, as well. They are knocking instruction out of the park, they are collaborative team members, and support all learners. These teachers lift-up their co-workers and students, and their overall performance is spectacular!
