Teacher of the Week: Mrs. Orvis from Maria Montessori School

Congrats to the final teacher of the week for the school year, Mrs. Orvis from Maria Montessori Elementary School.

Orvis was nominated by one of her students, Vincent Bernsten:

My teacher should be the teacher of the week, first of all, she just deserves it.
Secondly, she always gives us second chances. She is too nice to us and pushes us to the limits, and knows that we can reach them. She has such a good way with all of the students and treats us all the same. Even though I will have her for one more year, when I finish grade school, I will always remember her.
Thirdly, when she wants us to know a topic, she just keeps helping us until we learn it. Fourthly, when one of the students has overdue work, she takes her own time to write it all down, even though probably no other teacher would do that.
Lastly, you can talk to her about anything, and she understands it. She is one of a kind.

Mrs. Orvis won flowers from Broadway Florist, a cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes and a gift certificate from Oriental Trading Company.
