Congratulations to Tess Koltes from All Saints Academy in St. Joseph. She is a fifth grade teacher who was selected to be our April “Teacher of the Month!” She was nominated by Loni Price , a parent of one of Mrs. Koltes' students. Price had this to say about her;

Mrs. Koltes is a very positive teacher which allows her students to learn in a very positive and welcoming atmosphere. Her compassion, and understanding has given my 5th grader the confidence to be the best she can be. Weather the class is learning school smarts by dissecting hearts, or learning a card game to go and play with the elderly, every day in the life of a 5th grader in Tess Koltes' class is a fun and exciting adventure. As a parent I feel good knowing that her goal is the same as mine and I can see our accomplishment on my 5th graders smiling face everyday after school."

Thanks again, Mrs. Koltes for being an outstanding teacher to all of your students at All Saints Academy. Your hard work has definitely been noticed by everyone around you!

Mrs. Koltes received cheesecake and fudge from Christine’s Sweet Confections, a gift card from The Hideout Bar, a 98.1 FM hat and a beautiful trophy from All Star Trophy.
