Congratulations to Clarks Creek 4^th grade teacher Cindy McGary on being selected as the Dugan Chevrolet/ICON December Teacher of the Month!  Mrs. McGary was nominated by current 5^th grader, Kiersten Marten, who was a student in Mrs. McGary’s class last year.  You can read her nomination letter by following this link:  ICON’s December Teacher of the Month.

Representatives from Dugan Chevrolet came to the school and presented Mrs. McGary with the keys to a silver 2012 Chevrolet Camaro while her students eagerly watched from the sidewalk.  She will get to drive the Camaro for one week while Dugan gives her personal vehicle a complete car detail.

“Mrs. McGary fosters a classroom environment that models creativity and respect for others,” says Clarks Creek principal Michael Underwood.  He believes that she treats all her students with dignity and respect at all times.  “She is certainly deserving of this honor.”  He thought it also noteworthy that the honor came from a student she had last year.

Congratulations to Mrs. McGary and to Clarks Creek on encouraging an environment for exceptional learning, creativity and success.

When Clarks Creek Elementary 5^th grader Anna Steely wrote to Barnes and Noble on behalf of her friend and classmate, Amberlee Scott, the company took almost no time at all to respond in a big way.  Roberta Sears, Community Relations Manager at the Plainfield store, delivered the donated items on Tuesday, December 20^th.

An avid reader herself, Anna had seen the simplicity of the Nook Simple Touch and saw the potential for someone like Amberlee.   Anna’s letter explained that 11-year-old Amberlee has cerebral palsy which makes it difficult for her to turn pages on her own.

Anna had reached out to two other companies in hopes of helping her friend find an easier method of reading.  She heard nothing back from the two companies.  But Barnes and Noble stepped up and made a huge difference in Amberlee’s life that will not soon be forgotten.  Thank you, Anna, for your persistence in putting kindness into action.
