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 Amy Kent, who is a kindergarten teacher at North School in Taylorville. Kent, who has been teaching for 19 years, says that the thing that excites her the most about teaching is teaching children how to read.
Kent says that technology has played a big part in teaching especially with COVID right now.
Kent thanked her many mentors for teaching her the importance of forging relationships with her students.
Kent says that the advice she has for parents is to hang in there.
Kent also thanked the Taylorville Chamber of Commerce and says that she will be using the gift certificate to purchase needs for her classroom.
