EPISD Teacher of the Month for October
The Eagle Pass Independent School District has partnered with local businesses throughout our city to highlight the Teacher of the Month program, which honors educators who have made a difference in our community. The program recognizes outstanding kindergarten, elementary, junior high, and high school teachers in Eagle Pass, Texas.
Mrs. Graciela Villalobos has been inspiring students in our District for over twenty five years. This Veteran educator was named the EPISD October “Teacher of the Month.” Graciela began her teaching career as an instructional assistant where she worked hand and hand for over twenty years with numerous educators. Gaining experience and working with children of the district, she continued her professional educational career and received her Bachelor’s Degree in Education. For the last six years this “Kennedy Favorite” has been a highly requested Pre-Kindergarten teacher. She is compassionate, understanding, and loving towards all of her students and her Kennedy family. Her style of teaching incorporates the use of technology and engaging manipulatives which stimulate little learner’s minds. She is the perfect example of a teacher who teaches from the heart. It is for all these reasons that she is an outstanding Teacher and the Teacher of the Month for October.
A segment will appear on iVision throughout the month of October detailing many more accomplishments of Mrs. Villalobos. This month he will also appear on community media, news publications and the EPISD website throughout October 2014.
A teacher will be selected each month through June 2015 for a total of nine (9) honorees. The “Teacher of the Month” will be chosen based on educational achievements in the classroom, community contributions and innovativeness of the program/techniques used by the teacher. The “Teacher of the Month” will receive a certificate of recognition and will be featured on iVision, local media news, news publications and radio broadcasting. Additionally, each “Teacher of the Month” will receive donations from local businesses.
