This year’s Sara

Snow, an instructor in social studies.
He is the second Hardaway
teacher to be honored in the past five days as the best. The
Muscogee Educational Excellence Foundation named Hardaway
Band Director Vincent Sneed as the top
teacher in the Muscogee County School District.
“I didn’t
expect this,” Snow said. “It’s a great
honor and none of this is possible without the students – it
is all about the students.”
He
gave credit to Hardaway principal Matt Bell.
“He allows a lot
of creativity in the classroom and I take advantage of
it,” Snow said.
An
Auburn University graduate, Snow is the Model United
Nations sponsor at Hardaway, a member of the school
improvement planning team and leader of the Soles4Souls
Charity Walk.
In his application, Snow
said: “I enter the classroom every day determined
to make the world a better place.”
Page One Judges praised
Snow’s energy and enthusiasm and said Snow’s “care
and compassion was evident on all fronts.”
In the application, Bell
said that Snow’s classroom is “a true learning
community where students are challenged.” |
