Tell us about your favorite teacher or colleague, and why they inspire you.
Dawn Brown McMahon: Hi, my name is Dawn and I am nominating Chip Fuller. Uh He is my colleague and he is an inspiration in the teaching environment. I'm going to give you the top 10 reasons why I'm nominating him. Number 10, he holds the door open for faculty and staff every day, rain or shine. Number nine, he makes sure that we're all included in the fun, whether it's in uh an event inside the building or whether it's in our big backyard, he includes everyone. Number eight, he texts pictures of the treats that are in the faculty room. Number seven, he always says hello to our pre K kiddos. Number six, he pops in and says, quote, you guys are amazing. End of quote, always complimenting our room number five, he makes sure that other events like if the ski club is entering in and out of the building near our pre K kiddos, he always makes sure that everything is safe for everyone. Number four, he has fun teaching. Number three, he has fun with faculty and students. Number two, he's willing to carry stuff and the top to top and the top number one reason I'm nominating him is because him and his beautiful wife have, uh, have nurtured their beautiful daughter Ursula with whom I have the pleasure of teaching with every day in our pre K program. And she's pretty special. In fact, I should probably nominate her too. Chip. You're awesome.
What's your favorite part about being a teacher?
Dawn Brown McMahon: So my favorite part of being a teacher has to be that I get to work with pre emergent readers. I work with the pre KK age range and they are full of joy. They are full of wonder and curiosity. Uh They are extremely loving, they are extremely funny. Uh They are extremely active and uh when they make connections, learning connections, it is literally like watching miracles. So I get to see glimmers of um miracles daily. I think that has to be my favorite part of teaching. And my name is Dawn mcmahon.
