The Miller Media Group and Tradewind Energy are co-sponsoring a weekly "Educator of the Week" from September First thru October 13th, to honor a different Christian County educator and the commitment they've made to their students and schools.
This week's "Educator of the Week" is Jessica Reber, who is a 5th-grade teacher at Taylorville Junior High School in Taylorville. Reber, who has been teaching for 8 years, got into teaching for the same reasons many other teachers enjoy teaching, and that is the children.
Reber originally wanted to be a veterinarian when she was a kid, but teaching has always been something that she wanted to do. Reber says that COVID-19 has not only affected her in the classroom but like so many other parents it’s been hard at home as well.
Reber knows that things have been tough and the school is working hard to make sure they can accommodate everyone.
Reber thanked her family and her husband for all of the support over the years.
