Congratulations to Mrs. Morrall from St. Bridget Catholic School in Loves Park, Illinois

Tara Holycross nominated Mrs. Morrall, she writes,

Mrs. Morrall is my daughter’s 1st grade teacher at St. Bridget School. Mrs. Morrall raises the bar for what a teacher should be. She is everything a student could want: kind, energetic, encouraging, and is always placing faith at the root of all that is taught. She allows her students to explore their imaginations and use creative outlets in the classroom, whether it is through her classroom puppet shows, student of the day recognition, or power pellets to promote positive behavior. The kids will even be having a “yes day” the last week of school!

 

 

My daughter had blossomed as a student and loves going to school each and every day. Mrs. Morrall is one of a kind, and we’re so blessed to have her as our teacher at St. Bridget School!

When you listen to my conversation with Mrs. Morrall below, you'll hear why, just like me, you'll want to earn your own Power Pellets.
