WKDQ Teacher of the Month for March 2025

The WKDQ Teacher of the Month winner for March was supposed to be announced last week. However, that was the week of Spring Break, so better late than never. March's winner comes to us from West Terrace Elementary School in Evansville. Mrs. Carrie French, a fifth grade teacher there. This was a fun one. The office had the whole fifth grade in the gymnasium to take "graduation pictures." However, the real reason why they were there was to honor Mrs. French.

Mrs. French received some very heartwarming nominations from folks she knows, as well as parents of students who really showed that she was beyond deserving of being named the WKDQ Teacher of the Month. Here's one that puts it all into perspective from a current student.

"Our Family wants to Nominate my sons fifth grade teacher, Mrs.Carrie French. Mrs.French is a teacher at West Terrace Elementary School. She has the Patience of a saint! She is so calm, understanding, open minded, and composed, even in challenging situations. She tries to understand the students perspective, and why they may have responded the way they did. She understands that kids come from many different backgrounds and different situations. But, continues to love them all the same. She truly believes in the kids and this helps them to believe in themselves. Mrs.French is empathetic and teaches our kids this characteristic. She is willing to change the way she teaches it explains this to help the kids better understand. She always responds to parent concerns and offers guidance. She is an asset to West Terrace Elementary School. This would be a very well deserved recognition for her. " -Rebecca(BJ ) Deig
